Athena was the goddess of civilization, specifically wisdom, weaving, crafts and the more disciplined side of war (violence and bloodlust were Ares' domain). Athena's wisdom encompasses the technical knowledge employed in weaving, metal-working, but also includes the cunning intelligence of such figures as Odysseus. The owl and the olive tree are sacred to her.

Athena was of a less violent nature than Athena. Yes they are both considered goddesses of war, but they each have their own reasoning. Athena was more rational if I remember from college.

Athena is the goddess of wisdom and strategy. The greek city of Athens was named after her. According to greek myth a woman once claimed to be a better weaver then Athena, she cursed her by turning her into the medusa.
Ares, brother of Athena; he is the greek god of war. Patron god of the city of sparta he was thought to be cruel and dangerous. Nothing thrilled him more then to see blood on a battlefield.
Both Athena and Ares were children of Zeus. Fearing his children would overthrow him as he had his father (Cronus.) he ate them. Athena, using her sword cut her and her brothers way out of him. When he was not overthrown, Zeus learned to trust his children.

Athena's the godess of wisdom and did a lot of strategy. She's well liked and Zeus's favorite daughter.
Ares's the god of war and warriors. He's very cruel, merciless, not well recieved by anyone.

they are more like the siblings of war. Athena was smarter and ruled Athens(greatest navy at the time),but Ares was more brutal and ruled Sparta(greatest army at the time).they were twins. Zeus ate metis(he had one of many affairs) so she wouldn't have a son to overthrow him(it was a prophacy). Hephaestus cracked Zeus's head and she sprang with a long spear in hand wearing armor.she was born on Olympus.

You should spend your time not searching demonic goddesses but to search out the one true God and creator who has a plan for you! John 3, get his spirit, not Athena.
