Hymn to Athena - the Greek Goddess!

An Hymn to Athena

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed,

inventive, unbending of heart,

pure virgin, saviour of cities,

courageous, Tritogeneia. Wise Zeus himself bare her

from his awful head, arrayed in warlike arms

of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed

But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head

and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis,

shaking a sharp spear: great Olympus began to reel horribly

at the might of the bright-eyed Goddess,

and earth round about cried fearfully,

and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves,

while foam burst forth suddenly:

the bright son Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while,

until the maiden Pallas Athena had stripped the heavenly armour from 

her immortal shoulders.

And wise Zeus was glad.

And so hail to you, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis!

Now I will remember you and another song as well.
