Athene: Virgin and Mother in Greek Religion (Dunquin Series: No. 9)

Athene, the goddess who affects the fates of both women and men, unites the virginal fatherâ€™s daughter and the encouraging mother of the spirit. Karl KerÃ©nyiâ€™s careful rendering of the many aspects of her mythos demonstrates a profound understanding of feminine intelligence both in its fierceness and it darker animal nature â€“ especially apparent in the symbolism of owl, goat, horse, and Gorgon. The archetypal image of Athene provides a mythological background of communal and political consciousness, individuality, and the power of mind.
