Answer 3

In Greek mythology, Athena (Greek: Ἀθηνᾶ, Athēnâ, or Ἀθήνη, Athénē; Doric: Ἀσάνα, Asána) was the goddess of wisdom, weaving, crafts, and war. Athena's wisdom encompasses the technical knowledge employed in weaving, metal-working, and war, but also includes the cunning intelligence (metis) of such trickster figures as Odysseus.

She is attended by an owl, wears a goatskin breastplate called the Aegis given to her by her father, Zeus,[1] and is accompanied by the goddess of victory, Nike. She is often shown helmeted and with a shield bearing the Gorgon Medusa's head, a votive gift of Perseus. Athena is an armed warrior goddess, and appears in Greek mythology as a helper of many heroes, including Heracles, Jason, and Odysseus. She never had a consort or lover, and thus was often known as Athena Parthenos ("Athena the virgin"). In her role as a protector of the city, Athena was worshipped throughout the Greek world as Athena Polias ("Athena of the city"). She had a special relationship with Athens, as is shown by the etymological connection of the names of the goddess and the city.[2] The Parthenon, on the Acropolis of Athens, is her most famous temple.

Answer 7

The name Athena has no etymological interpretation.

It is a very dynamic sound though if it will pronounced correctly.
The names of Zeus, Hera, Athena, Hephaestus, Theseus and some other Gods of the Greek mythology could be used for production of dynamic sounds(aka madrams).
But the special knowledge, for the use of each specific vowel, is a must. All the above names in Grammar have "Ptwseis" except the name of "Zeus". In the 2nd "ptwsi" it becomes "Dios" and this because it should be easy to be created a "dangerous vibration" and initiated a "damage"
