Athena of the power loom, who turns artisans into bugs. Athena, the Queen of Plunder, whose ships carry loot to the Global North. Athena of mass media, who whispers lies into the ears of her victims. Athena, wife of Mammon who feeds him the universe.

She is incredibly cool! A friend of mine told me about two myths about her, kind of similar, kind of not.
Both start like this: Artemis and her virgins are bathing in a lake in the forest. Guy is walking in the forest and comes upon them.

Now in the first one he realises there's a bunch of hot babes swimming naked, so he hides and peeps. Artemis busts him and turns him into a deer to be perpetually hunted.

In the second one the guys stumbles upon them by accident and immediately looks away, terribly sorry about the whole thing. He still saw Artemis naked and she's still a greek god so... She gives him an offer: He can be turned into a deer to be hunted forever OR she can trans him and turn him into one of her virgins. He picks the latter.
