— **Wonder Woman**
**Athena**, also known as **Pallas Athena**, is a goddess in Greek mythology. She is known as the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law, justice, strategic war, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.  Offering wise counsel to those who seek it, Athena helped promote civilization in the mortal world and taught humans skills such as weaving, sewing, farming, and metalwork.

While the elected ruler of Athens; the capital of Greece, and a patron deity of heroes like Hercules, Perseus, Odysseus and Diana of Themyscira, Athena is also at times arrogant and can't stand it if someone dares to prove her inferior. She is also vengeful and holds grudges against Poseidon and Ares.
