Minerva, Athena's Roman incarnation, embodies similar attributes. [4] Athena is also a shrewd companion of heroes and is the goddess of heroic endeavour. She is the virgin patron of Athens. The Athenians built the Parthenon on the Acropolisof her namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honour. [4] Athena's veneration as the patron of Athens seems to have existed from the earliest times, and was so persistent that archaic myths about her were recast to adapt to cultural changes. In her role as a protector of the city (polis), many people throughout the Greek world worshiped Athena as Athena Polias (θην Πολιάς "Athena of the city"). Athens and Athena bear etymologically connected names. [5] |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 7336814 United States 12/25/2011 07:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Comet LoveJoy I can't stop watching you!!! As Comet LoveJoy (LOVE THE NAME:) made its approach to the sun (see first minute) it is pointed to go well sideways of the Sun. The Sun using its strong gravitational arms to pull LoveJoy in and give it a kiss! Comet LoveJoy was real fast but having such a huge fan as our Son with such strong hands and a burning desire to get close to her, gave in to the attraction of our lovely Sun. Not only the Scientists are amazed and baffled "On Wednesday (Dec. 21), NASA astronaut Daniel Burbank was amazed to see the comet rising over a nighttime Earth from his vantage point on the International Space Station as it sailed 240 miles above Tasmania. Burbank, who currently commands the space station, snapped about 100 photos of the cosmic sight, which NASA later assembled into a time-lapse video of comet Lovejoy." excerpt from [link to news.yahoo.com] Great Views Here [link to www.space.com] Silly stuff [link to www.magnadan.blogspot.com] |
