 * Status Update**: Athena is...pondering.
 * Birthday**: A very, very long time ago! My parents are Zeus and Metis, a nymph. My father swallowed my mother when she was still pregnant with me, so when I was born, Hephaestus chopped open Zeus' head with an axe, and I came out in full armor, ready for battle!
 * Hometown**: Mount Olympus, Greece
 * Interests:** Inventing new things, Strategizing battles,
 * Favorite Books:** I love any and all books, of course!! How else would I become the Goddess of Wisdom?!
 * Favorite Movies**: Braveheart (great battle scene!), Star Wars (because Yoda is so wise)
 * Favorite Quotes:** “What we see and do in war - the cruelty, is unbelievable. But somehow we gotta make some sense out of it. To do that, we need an easy-to-understand truth and darn few words.” --Flags of our Fathers
 * About Me**: I am the Goddess of Wisdom, of Military Victory and of Crafts. These things all kind of go together...You see, I am very wise, which makes me good at battle--not because I am good at fighting (that's Ares!), but because I am good at strategizing. I also like to use my wisdom to invent things; I invented all kinds of things, including the chariot, the ship and the flute. I also invented the horse bridle, because I wanted man to be able to control horses. Overall, I am just a problem-solver.
