Athena: The Strange Myths of the Goddess of Wisdom - Greek Mythology

The goddess of wisdom is wonderful and her myths are incredible, Athena is a charming and powerful goddess 🇬🇷

Finally, the goddess Metis is being honored and revealed! The first queen mother, and the mother of Athena.

For the Medusa stories, I read from a comment from a video that as Athena is full of Wisdom she makes crazy plans,actions,etc that SEEMS CRAZY OR UNFAIR in our perspective but to Athena’s Perspective it was a wise decision. Like how we don’t understand things til much later. Hope it sums it up and maybe see some opinions etc. (It was a while ago so it’s not as vivid as. I remember)

This is the first time I've heard such a story. I didn't know the whole story of Medusa. Thanks for telling us about this.

0:00 The story of birth to Athena from very beginning. Athena finally grow up without her mother. 3:58 Poseidon and Athena to claim City of Attica will be renamed. Their vote of Council of Gods of Olympus Athena win and all citizen of Attica to be known as City of Athens. 8:42 Athena meet Arachne. 13:17 Hephaestus and Athena had a son's name Erichthonius with strange the tale of a serpent. Athena raised him in the Temple and finally grow up in Temple of Athens. 16:31 Athena meet Medusa. Now that was impressive from very beginning story of Athena The Strange Myths of the Goddess of Wisdom in Greek Mythology history.

Another version of the Arachne story is that she offended the gods so, Athena turned her into a spider, so that she will weave beautiful spider webs that will be wiped away by people. Meaning they won't matter. And Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders.

Never knew the full story of Medusa. Thanks for sharing this.

1:42 I like how you made the boy look like Kratos.

So basically fate can be averted. Normally when you hear a prophecy it comes true by you trying to prevent it, yet the opposite happened when Zues tried to stop it. Though I am surprised Athena never tried to free her mother.

Athina is my favorite goddess...!!! Her gift 🎁 as beauty and wisdom is still noticeable today in Greek women...!!!

Medusa ... im so sorry 💔

Ovid's Medusa story is heartbreaking :'( she devoted herself to the godess yet she was exiled and doomed to a miserable existence, through no fault of her own. RIP.

I heavily dislike how much the Ovid version of the stories are the most repeated nowadays. Especially considering they don't even make sense most of the times.

Your forget to mention one tiny little detail the SECOND SON WAS ARES . The main reason why Zeus hates him so much . The dump war god is destiny to overthrow his father and if basically does it when the Roman Empire creates Mars .

Thank you for the information

Hail Athena!

This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say it was Prometheus that hit his head with an ax. Every other classicist I’ve heard said it was Hephaestus.

Superb and Thank you 🌹🌻💜

Wow! I like this k8nd of presentation more than the live action versions.

That doggone Zeus, that boy would hit anything that weren't nailed down!
