Villa Athena
Megali Ammos Skiathos, Greece |
 |
| Villa Athena takes its name from the ancient Greek goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus, the goddess of war, arts and crafts. Legend has it that Zeus swallowed his wife Metis just as she was about to give birth to a child. Shortly afterwards Zeus developed a severe headache. Athena was born from his head, fully armed and brandishing a bronze javelin. Athena has been seen as the Warrior Goddess and we find her fighting alongside Greek soldiers in many famous battles. Not only was she a warrior herself, but she protected the brave and valorous in Greek mythology, helping Hercules in his labours and guiding Perseus on his expedition against the Gorgons. In times of peace, Athena was benevolent and wise. She taught the people the art of taming horses and became known as the goddess of horses, oxen and olives. Her skills in pottery, weaving and embroidery were renowned and it was Athena who invented the potter's wheel and made the first vases. |
