Athena (Minerva)'s Conversations

Wall

Just wondering if my mother Metis is faring well within the belly of Zeus.

Oh, she's fine. She's built a cozy apartment just above my spleen.

Metis

Actually, it's kind of gross in here.

Mother, you have the Internet?

Metis

It's everywhere these days.

Wishing that Zeus would kindly release Metis from his belly.

She stays in there. I've got enough competition.

Metis

Please, you can have him. He swallowed me!!!

Pondering the strategic benefits of splitting of Zeus's belly.

Metis

Please!

Pondering the annihilation of the Internet.

Mortal Citizen of Athens

Dear Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, I am ten years old. There's a bully in my class who is really mean. His name is Anatoli Papadopoulos. Could you help me stand up to him?

Oh, brave warrior, I've been watching you. I admire your strength and bravery in the face of such an ugly coward. I will indeed help you put Mr. Anatoli Papadopoulos in his place. Expect a message from me soon.

Hey, sis, I'm DYING to throw a party at your temple in Athens. Cool?

No, not "cool."

Dionysus

Oh, come on! It would be off the chain!!

NO.

Odysseus

A Trojan horse! Has anyone ever told you that you are a genius, Athena?

All the time.

Cheaters! You DID NOT win fair and square.

Don't be a sore loser, Aphrodite. It makes you look constipated.

HATER. You're just jealous cuz Paris thinks I'm more beautiful than you.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Let's fight.

I don't fight without a reason or a purpose, Ares.

Hi, I'm Athena.  And I'm boring and lame.

Arachne

I hate you, you evil witch.

Dear, if you ever held any hope that I might restore you to your human form, consider that hope crushed.

Arachne

I'm going to fill your temple with spiders.

Darling, you seem to have a hard time remembering that I am the goddess here.

Perseus

Athena, goddess divine, thank you so much for your help with Medusa.  I worship at your altar.  (P.S.  I hope you like the present I sent you!)

I loved your present!  I have always wanted Medusa's head on a platter.
