O nascimento de Atena da cabeça de Zeus pode ser visto como um símbolo do seu temperamento racional. A natureza dela reflete o triunfo da razão sobre a paixão, pois não se deixa demover pelas emoções da paixão ou pelo amor romântico. O pai é o mais poderoso dos deuses e a mãe a mais sábia entre as deusas. Atena é o produto da união do poder com a sabedoria. | O nascimento de Atena da cabeça de Zeus pode ser visto como um símbolo do seu temperamento racional.

<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.
