Athena Today

Athena/

 

Wise, knowledgeable, grey eyed maiden/

 

Daughter of a Titan and a god.

 

Lover to no one, yet protector of the defenseless./

 

She who feels when women cry out, “Me too”.

 

She who feels joy when a daughter asks her mother to tell her the stories of the gods. Her family will not be forgotten. /

 

She who needs women to know it’s not their fault./

 

She who gives advice to college students not to drink too much, it will kill you eventually./ 

 

She fears no one, yet she fears what could happen when women walk home alone./

 

Who would like to see herself portrayed in proper armor, not a metal bikini./

 

She has traded her peplos for jeans and a white blouse. The aegis and her spear have been replaced by a book. She will give it to whoever she meets./ 

/

She is still alive, changed yet unchanged at the same time. 

 

Daughter of deep thought and storms, still existing in today’s world./
