So it was about time I talked about Athena. I didn't include her in my original run of Greek Mythology and its gods and goddesses, because she kind of already features in so many stories, but... now I felt like she should get her own dedicated video. Athena is a bit of a double edged sword: On the one hand she is one of the few kind goddesses, while on the other hand she is responsible for some Zeus-level atrocities. A big reason of that ambiguity though is that the 'character' of Athena got a huge rewrite in 8 CE by the Roman writer Ovid, but... I discuss all that in my video. I hope you enjoy.

I don't really have any notes to add for this one — I think it's all in the video.

The clips in the beginning of the movie are from the Marvel movie Eternals.
