Athena

Since Ally Star told you about Apollo, I thought I might say a bit about Athena :)
Athena's the goddess of wisdom, battle, and the arts. She's my favorite because I guess I consider myself to be clever like her and I'm realllllly artsy. Athena is the goddess of BATTLE, not to be confused with Ares being the god of war. She focuses more on strategy. The Greek city Athens has a myth that it was name Athens because of a contest between Poseidon and Athena. Athena created the olive tree and I don't remember what Poseidon made; I think it was a fountain or something. Athena turned Medusa's hair to snakes and somebody named Arachne (something like that) to a spider. Athena was born in full armor from Zeus's head. Her sign is the owl and she had grey eyes and long black hair. In Percy Jackson, she had on hiking boots and just average everyday clothes.
