Athena is the Greek [[god|goddess]] of [[Creed|strategic warfare]], handicraft, and wisdom. In contrast to [[Ares]]'s [[Black Templars|BURN PURGE KILL]] approach to warfare, Athena spends a lot more time thinking about dumb nerd shit like "supply lines" and "cohesive battle strategy". She is [[Zeus]]'s 'daughter' in so much as a literal tumor can be considered a child. The myth states that after Zeus married [[Hera]], he got such a massive, titanic, brain-melting headache that he asked [[Hephaestus]] to split his skull open. When Hephaestus did so, out popped a fully grown armed and armored Athena. Makes you wonder how awful a wife Hera is that she can give Zeus a headache like that, huh? 

Athena is often portrayed as a cool, collected, and somewhat emotionally distant deity. Her wrath is often extremely calculated and ironic, with loads of [[JUST AS PLANNED]] for good measure. She is the namesake of the city Athens, as well as one of the three petty bitches responsible for the Trojan war, along with [[Hera]] and [[Aphrodite]]. 

Athena is most often portrayed as lawful good, making her a strong choice for [[paladin]] players angling for a character that's more of a strategic combatant. She also works very well with battle master [[fighter]]s and war [[cleric]]s.
