No, Athena was one of the three virgin goddesses - the other two being Vesta and Artemis.

No. Athene was a virgin... hence her name Athena Parthenos.... Parthenos meaning virgin in greek. Also, Athene is an accepted transliteration of the Greek. Futher, children of Zues did have children. Apollo is said to be the father of Asclepius.... moreover Hercules, son of Zeus, had children (whom he killed), I can't think of anymore examples right now.

Athena supposedly had a foster child Erichthonius who later became the king of Athens.

She never had a consort or lover, and thus was often known as Athena Parthenos ("Athena the virgin"), hence her most famous temple, the Parthenon, on the Acropolis in Athens.

No such dude as "Athene" in Greek Mythology. You are thinking of Athena, goddess of wisdom. She was always portrayed as a virgin...no lovers or consort and no children. Actually, there are no stories of any of children of Zeus having children.

Athena was the godess of war and a virgin.
Shows you those two things don't mix.

Nope. Virgin.
Athena's main temple, the Parthenon, means "virgin temple" ("parthenos" means virgin.)
Athena didn't have sex and didn't have kids.
