Spurs skip showers

[1Parker1]

Should this happen again, I humbly volunteer to give sponge baths on the plane ride home. Some may take longer than others.

Damn, now why didn't I think of that myself...?

You're probably not as evil as I am.

[Athenea]

Atheana....

Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother's robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius.

Hmmm that's Athena u r talking about right there (my nick is a "latinalization" of Athena ). I'd rather follow Robert Graves' POV about Ancient myths.
Athena was the incarnation of all virtues and plenty of the ones that are usually awarded to men.
Plato compared Athena with the Libyan goddess Neith, that dates back to an age in which fatherhood was not recognized, before the Creto-Minoic culture had flourished.
For the Pelasgians, she was born near the Tritonis Lake in Libya, where she was found and raised by the Three Nymphs of Libya, who worn in goat pelt. When the goddess accidentally killed her friend Pallas, she became Pallas Athena. She finally settled down near the Triton River in Beocia.
Triton, Tritonis or Tritone mentioned in this myth means “third queen” such as one of the divine persons of the goddess triad. The deity trinity represented the young, middle-aged and old woman. Tritone refers to the elderly one. Each one of the hostess of the triad were deified assuming different names and cults, and embodying definite qualities: strength, fertility and wisdom.
Later on, this mythical explanation was left aside and replaced by a different "fable" that was told by the main priests of Athena (the one u quoted).
Basically Zeus couldn't have been Athena's father coz Athena predecessed him.
For the mythologists, this one was a desperately attempt to deprive Athena of all her matriarchal conditions and wisdom ap udes too, conceiving the last ones as male privileges or prerogatives. Till then, only goddesses had been “wise”.
The changes introduced in myths along centuries were signs of deep changes in the socio-political environment of Greek society. The Greeks leave behind the matriarchy and embraced the patriarchy and religion tried to keep people affection, by telling stories the way they wanted to be heard -since the immigration of Libyan refugees to Crete Island about 4000 years before Christ, who brought into Greece the worship of Athena-, to the political intrigues against the ruler matriarchy usually in the form of rebellion by the sovereign queen’s husband (who held no power at all).
