#iliad — Public Fediverse posts

getting into #GreekMythology again and especially with my fave #Athena / #Athene.

she's much more powerful than modern media gives her credit for, i think. and she has many domains that don't get emphasized like crafts and invention. her androgynous nature is really cool. like Athena is known for weaving and sewing. she makes and wears beautiful gowns and robes. in the #Iliad she makes her stepmother, #Hera , a stunning gown (to seduce Zeus bc Hera and Athena are scheming again, lol).
