Athena
The god to be the topic of discussion in this report is Athena. Athena was an
important member of the Olympic pantheon. She was born fully armed from the
forehead of Zeus, the chief god. Athena was Zeus's favorite child. He
entrusted her with the Aegis, his breastplate, and with his thunderbolt.
Athena's role as a goddess varied. She was a major warrior and most images
depict her dressed in armor and holding a spear. In Homer's Iliad, she is
described as a fierce battle goddess who continually intervened on the side of
the Greeks. She also took an interest in handicrafts and agriculture. The
olive tree, which she said to have created, is sacred to her. She was noted for
her wisdom which explains her close association with the owl, an ancient symbol
of wisdom and reason. The most famous temple to Athena was the Parthenon (5th
century BC) which was named for Parthenos ("the Maiden"), which still stands
atop the Acropolis in Athens. The interior of the Parthenon stands a statue of
Athena Parthenos, sculpted by Phidais. When I was reading through myths, I
decided I would talk about "The Gift of Athena" which, in my opinion, best
illustrates Athena's colorful personality. Here is how "The Gift of Athena"
goes:
Long, long ago, when this old world was a very young place, and when the few
people there were had just begun to live together in groups for their own
protection, the great gods selected the places for humans to build the cities.
They looked down upon the earth, through the clouds that shrouded their home on
the very peak of the high mountain called Olympus, and they chose the sites they
thought would provide everything mortals needed to live and prosper. Now, each
god and goddess was eager to have a great city built in his or her honor, and so
the prime locations-the very best places for the great cities to be built came
to cause much bickering and jealousy among the many deities for all wanted a
great city built in their honor, a city whose people would worship that
particular god or goddess above all others. It happened that great Zeus, the
king and ruler of all the gods, had found a spot on earth that appeared
absolutely ideal for the building of a noble city; indeed, he foresaw that the
city that would be built there would someday become the noblest city on earth.
Well, you can imagine that all the gods and goddesses wanted this city for their
own, and you would be right.

Gods. After it was taken over by humans, it was a proud and happy city
The Greeks believed the deities provided the city protection and allowed them to be successful in their endeavors while in time of war. Phidias, a master bronze worker, was commissioned to create the sculpture of Athena Parthenos, the goddess of wisdom to show tribute to the gods by creating a large scale sculpture in Acropolis. The Acropolis was the most important site in the city of Athens, and was well recognized as the hilltop of protection. It is also the most significant reference point of ancient Greek culture as well as the symbol of the city of Athens. Some of the greatest architectural masterpieces of the period were erected on its ground.
Athena is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. She is one of the 12 Olympians that live on top of Mount Olympus. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, strategy, skill, and justice, and the owl is her sacred bird. In Mandelbaum verse translation of the epic poem the Odyssey of Homer, Athena helped Odysseus by providing guidance, physical, and internal help. Without this help, Odysseus would have to forge the path home by himself and face the challenges that are to come alone. He would be left to face the wrath of both Zeus and Poseidon without another major god’s help. Athena aided Odysseus in the trials he was to face, which gave him the guidance and help he needed to return to his home, Ithaca.
In the film, A Civil Action, Trial Procedure was shown throughout the entire movie. There are many steps that need to be completed before a verdict and judgment can be reached. These steps are the pleadings, methods of discovery, pretrial hearings, jury selection, opening statements, introduction of evidence, cross examinations, closing arguments, instructions to the jury, and the verdict and judgment. The case in this movie was actually called Anderson v. Cryovac. The plaintiffs are the Anderson family, the Gamache family, the Kane family, the Robbins family, the Toomey family, and the Zona family. The plaintiffs’ attorneys are Jan Schlichtmann, Joe Mulligan, Anthony Roisman, Charlie Nesson, and Kevin Conway. The two co- defendants are W.R. Grace and Beatrice Foods. The two co-defendants’ attorneys are William Cheeseman, Jerome Facher, Neil Jacobs, and Michael Keating.
Athena was the Greek Goddess of many ideas, but she was famous mostly for her superior wisdom, her cunning skills in times of war, and her implausible talent for household tasks, such as weaving and pottery. She was celebrated more than any other God in ancient mythology, was the supposed inventor of countless innovations, and her figure gave reason for Greek women to gain rights long before others of their time. The goddess of war, the guardian of Athens, and the defender of Heroes; Athena’s impact on the lives of Ancient Greeks is outstanding. As a resident on Mount Olympus, Athena rightfully represents both intelligence and strategy (Grant, Hazel 83). Symbols that identify with the goddess include the owl for wisdom and the olive branch for peace (Athena or Minerva. 1).

The chemist refused saying he worked numerous long, hard hours to develop this drug and he was going to make money from it. Heinz was desperate to save his wife, so later that night he broke into the chemist’s laboratory and stole the drug. I asked my interviewees if Heinz should have stolen the drug and their responses were diverse. Connor and Jessica both agreed that Heinz did the correct thing. Connor stated that he would have done the same thing for love, law no longer becomes a concern; however, if it were anyone else he would obey the law. Jessica said that a human’s life holds more value than the million the chemist would have made for the drug. Katie and Dave agreed that Heinz did wrong, stating that stealing is against the law. While the both understood that it would lead to the wife’s demise without the drug, they stood firm that stealing is a sin. Katie then went into the risks of being caught, that Heinz would be thrown behind bars, his wife would die, and it would leave the children’s life shattered. I then asked each of them, what if your close knit community was bound to find out about the theft and looked upon you disapprovingly and if that would change their answer. Connor
