it's more wise-ass and war nowadays!
Athena is also Goddess of the hunt, right?
Myth has it that Athina was "born" out of the head of Zeus.
Apart from war and wisdom (strange combination, indeed), Athina was the goddess of weaving and crafts. When you have only 12 Gods for everything, any one of them has to have many responsibilities.
The Romans called her Minerva.
Edwin_s, no. That was Artemis (Romans later named her Diana).
