It’s odd how Athena is Zeus’s favorite but she doesn’t seem to like him back, not only did she participate in Hera’s coup against him but even in the Iliad she was upset with him.

#she obeys him sure but only bc he’s stronger than her not bc he’s her father #greek mythology #greek pantheon #ancient greek mythology #greek goddess #zeus #athena goddess of wisdom #athena goddess #athena #metis #anti zeus #zeus deity

To every new person in the Greek myth fandom who shits on Athena because of what she did to Medusa....

Can y'all like..... Idk maybe NOT take Ovid's Metamorphoses as your ONLY source of Medusa's origin story?? (Furthermore that version isn't Greek either, it's Roman. So it's not Athena anyway, it's Minerva in that case).

And maybe like... Idk look at the GREEK myths (where Medusa didn't HAVE a traumatic backstory) that PRECEDE Ovid's version?? Would really not hurt you to look at and/or consider more than just one interpretation of the story.

PS: This is NOT to say that you CAN'T consider Ovid's version at all. You can, but atleast don't consider only THAT version to be canon. Cuz it's not. Myths like this don't follow a linear path. They are branched into several different versions. And cherry-picking only one of them while actively pretending the other versions don't exist at all is not gonna help you in your theological development.

🤍The feathers are from an owl called "Athene noctua" and is associated with Athena/is believed to be Athena's owl

🤍The statue she is holding is Nike, goddess of Victory and often paired with Athena (and no, that's not a weeping angel)

🤍The cobweb on the necklace (for Arachne) and Medusa's face are to represent old grudges Athena has (very prideful indeed)*

🤍Apparently emerald green was a colour associated with Athena. I love the way green looks with Teagan's red hair so I just went with it 😊

*Edit/small note : Athena is known for not being a girl's girl. But it's also quite well known that stories are often translated by men who like to pit women against each others. There are multiple versions of each Greek stories. For Medusa, some say that she was turned into a monster by Athena because she was in the wrong. Others say that she was turned that way out of mercy from Athena, so that she would never be hurt by men again. For Arachne, some say that she was turned into a spider because she won and Athena was too prideful to accept her defeat. Others will say that she lost against the goddess and k*lled herself. She was changed into a spider by Athena so she could keep weaving for all eternity.

I think these two elements can either be seen as old grudges Athena has or testimonies toward these two people she couldn't save on time (add the spear for Pallas into that but that's another story). Imo, the lyrics I was inspired by in My goodbye (selfish and prideful and vain) can be interpreted like Odysseus having actually no idea what really happened, or him being actually right and Athena being all of these. Anyway, I love all the layers in every song !

I don't play pool. If I wanted to have someone trick me into doing geometry by exploiting my love of hitting things with a stick, I'd just go out with the Greek Goddess Athena again.

My darling, believe me, I was born to be with you / But it'll be me that the world will answer to / And just for a second, I could be one of the greats / I'll be Caesar on a TV screen, champion of my fate / No one can tell me to stop, I'll have everything I want / Anyone / And everyone will like me then / Everyone will like me then

LOOK AT MY BABIES!!!

I’m so happy with them!! I have one more in the kiln from the first batch but wasn’t able to grab it today, so I’ll update when that one is in hand. But look at how cool they look!! The black glaze is splotchy is a few places but I feel like it just adds to the ancient look of the pieces 💕

The mini skyphos was wheel thrown and has hand built handles, while the two plaques are simple slabs. All of these were made with our studios orange engobe and clear glaze, as well as the amaco brent Obsidian celadon glaze.
