Greek Goddess Research Paper

Do you like to sew and weave? Are you handy with a bow and arrow, and maybe even a spear? Do you like listening to music or make beautiful sounds with instruments? If you do, then you are just like me! I am Athena, and I am a powerful goddess in Greek mythology. I am the goddess of wisdom, war, and the useful arts. The useful arts include farming, spinning, weaving, and playing music. I am also the protector of heroes, cities, and states. I am the daughter of Metis and the powerful god, Zeus. I was one of zeus’ favorite children. I was born out of his head when he swallowed my mother when he heard that I will be more powerful than him.

I have been very important to the Greeks for years. I taught them how to farm, spin, weave, play music and so much more! I was also a protector and a fighter. I am known for being the savior of heroes, and guard of cities and states. I always hated fighting without a purpose and I always made good and wise choices. The greeks honored me for that and had much respect for me. I have always believed it’s better to settle differences with wisdom, rather than violence. My goal was always to bring all of my soldiers back home safely. I was also the goddess of the useful arts. I created objects to help people and advance human civilization. I gave my people many gifts. I invented many tools that people needed.

I spend most of my time protecting the cities and states.

In the rest of my free time I work on new inventions, or help out the Greeks with their tasks. Usually, in the morning of a battle, I would plan out the scene, the possibility of winning, and how to prevent losing soldiers in the battle. Later, I would go and select our weapons depending on our enemies. Other than that I would usually solve arguments that might turn into a

fight.

My favorite duty is protecting the cities and states. It makes me feel good when I make others feel safe. It makes me feel like a hero. I also like inventing new ‘useful arts’ because it helps the greeks a lot in their everyday lives. I was the goddess who taught mankind various skills such as weaving and sewing to the women and agriculture and metallurgy to men. I was always giving very good advice and stood by on any danger. I protected the heroes as they went out to war and saved them on their coming back. Many people remember me as a fierce hero, but a wise warrior. I would be forever remembered by the Greeks.
