modern greek mythology: athena, goddess of wisdom, war, and other crafts
she is striking. it’s not her eyes, her nose, her cheekbones. it’s the strength of her mind, radiating from her core in tsunamis, overpowering and reshaping whole islands. she smiles like she knows the secrets of the universe, like she’ll find out anything. if knowledge is power, then she’d be the most powerful being you know. but she disagrees. wisdom is what makes the knowledge valuable. or does it? she can convince you of both. she has a great capacity to comprehend the incomprehensible. don’t say she’s cute. say she’s clever and curious and calculating. her mind is sharper than any blade. she’ll have you know: wars aren’t won by waving around pointy sticks.
