Athena, Goddess of War

Editor’s Note: Hi! So from now on, my images will be hosted somewhere else outside of Tumblr. That means to actually see the post you’ll have to click through the dash. Annoying, I know but now the images are much higher resolution…totally worth the extra effort.  I like you.

Let’s get back to they Olympians, shall we? This is Athena, she could kick your ass and spout the periodic table of elements while doing it.  She is most commonly recognized as the goddess of war and wisdom but she was also the goddess of civilization, crafts, strength, strategy and the heroic endeavors.  Most of us probably remember her from our high school lit classes and her travels with Odysseus.  I love the fact that she has a library card but can wage a war like no other.  Awesome.

Wow, didn’t realize I used this much Pucci. Oh well.
