http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AthenaAthena sprang whole from Zeus's head after Zeus had swallowed her mother whole. She was the patron God of Athens and throughout antiquity, how she was seen by her worshipers changed. You have taken one small paragraph out of a very long Wiki article. I hoped you learned something as it seems you must have read the article to cherry pick the idea of Athena.
J.J. Bachofen advocated that Athena was originally a maternal figure stable in her security and poise but was caught up and perverted by a patriarchal society; this was especially the case in Athens. The goddess adapted but could very easily be seen as a god. He viewed it as "motherless paternity in the place of fatherless maternity" where once altered, Athena's character was to be crystallized as that of a patriarch Originally Posted by WTF
