Athena, goddess of wisdom, was one of the only three Goddesses who would remain a virgin goddess, never marrying, nor falling to prey to love or the spells of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Romance is never featured in Athena’s mythology, and one could she say she’s the archetypal business woman. Now the way it all started for Athena, the manner in which she was born, was truly amazing. Zeus once laid with the woman Metis. However there was a prophecy that any child born from Metis would surpass…

Hermes, or Roman Mercury, is the divine messenger, particularly delivering the dictates of Zeus himself.

He was also a gifted musician and would play his music on his lyre for the other Olympian gods. He was an oracular god which meant he could predict prophesy through the Delphic Oracle. He did have some children, such as Asclepius and Orpheus, and he was born along with his twin…

In Homer’s The Odyssey everything is in flux unless declared certain by Zeus. This would have been a great tool for kings to use as a justification for why their decrees out rule all other decrees in their kingdom.
