Her main weakness is that she has power in her own realm of wisdom and industry but none in the realm of the other deities. Had she not been vain she would have stayed away from the judgement of Paris. Had she been more beautiful he would have chosen her as the fairest. Had she not been vengeful she would not have the Acheans chase Helen. Had she not been jealous she would not have helped Perseus kill Medusa. Had she been a better deity she would be worshipped to this day.
There are myths of the birth of Athena in Africa. Lake Tritonis is mentioned, but its location is not clear. At any rate Athena does not seem to have come from Egypt. Several thousand years ago the Sahara was more habitable than it is today and a location in what is now Tunisia may have been the source of the worship of Athena. An analysis of the art of the ancient Sahara may provide a clue. There are a number of cultures in Africa which revere the wisdom of women.

Zeus ate metis so she wouldn't have a son to overthrow him. Hephaestus cracked Zeus's head and she sprang with a spear in hand wearing armor.she was born on Olympus. her strengths were war and wisdom in which she mostly beat her twin brother Ares. Her weakness was jealousy. The best example is Arachne.

Athena grew to become into the goddess of information, that's why she is often shown with an owl, and of conflict. whilst the persons of Athens have been finding for a protector, they called up Athena and Neptune, and asked them to bestow the terrific present on the city. Neptune offered the pony, jointly as Athena made an olive tree spring up from the floor. Athena grew to become into chosen because of the fact the deity to guard them, and the city grew to become into named in her honor. Athena did not have a mom. fantasy states that she sprung from Zeus' head completely grown and in complete physique armor. certainly one of her commerce names is Athena Nike (specific, like the shoes), and her Roman call is Minerva.
