El nacimiento de Atenea de la cabeza de Zeus puede verse como un símbolo del temperamento racional de la diosa. Su propia naturaleza refleja el triunfo de la razón sobre la pasión, permaneciendo inmutable ante las emociones de la pasión o el amor romántico. Su padre es el más poderoso y su madre la más sabia de los dioses y las diosas. Atenea es, por tanto, un producto de la unión del poder y la sabiduría. | El nacimiento de Atenea de la cabeza de Zeus puede verse como un símbolo del temperamento racional de la diosa.

<blockquote>She personifies the clear upper air as well as mental clearness and acuteness, embodying the spirit of truth and divine wisdom. She participates with skill and wisdom in wars to defend the state, but does not fight, like the God of War, with uncontrolled ferocity for sheer love of strife. Her activities in war restore order, and thus she is a goddess of peace. She upholds law and order, encourages the arts by which the state is strengthened, and has invented so many aids to mankind that she is called the Contriver. She is the protectress of the young, the patroness of agriculture, of construction of all kinds, of healing and of music. She is especially devoted to the interests of mankind, for, some say, when Prometheus fashioned men of clay and water it was Athena who breathed life into them.<ref>Catherine Avery, ed., ''The New Century Classical Handbook'' (N.Y.: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1962), p. 186.</ref></blockquote> | <blockquote>She personifies the clear upper air as well as mental clearness and acuteness, embodying the spirit of truth and divine wisdom.
