Chapter 6: Athena
Discussion Questions
- Athena presides over warfare, weaving and intelligence? What (if anything) do these realms have in common? (And is it surprising that a goddess should have preside over warfare?
- What does Athena's birth tell us about her nature and her relationship with Zeus?
- What is the "message" of the story of Arachne? Does the Athena of that story seem to be the same in character as the Athena of the other stories of this chapter? How so (or how not)?
