PAGE 1 OF 5 — A WONDROUS BIRTH
FROM THE KING OF GODS
ATHENA ARRIVES READY
Greek myth gives Athena a birth story like no other. Zeus felt a strange ache in his head and called for help. In a flash of wonder, Athena appeared from his forehead. She was fully grown, dressed in armor, and already wise. She did not grow up as a child on Olympus. She arrived as a complete goddess of clear thinking. Storytellers loved this image. It showed wisdom bursting into the world all at once, ready to help and plan.
