Athena
We are near an altar,where all Athenians are gathered together to give sacrifices to Athena,goddess of widsom,war,art,and justice.Athena was born in a very unusual way,she sprung fully grown out of Zeus's head wearing a robe and a helmet.But why are Athenians giving sacrifices to Athena?The Athenians are giving sacrifices to Athena because Athena is the goddess of Athens after a challenge between Poseidion and Athena!A challenge to see who should rule Athens,a test who can give the best gift for the city.Poseidon gave us a river and Athena gave us an olive tree which provided food,wood,and oil.Our people chose Athena's gift,so till this day she is our ruler,our goddess that helped us prosper in arts and crafts!
