Origin[]

In Greek mythology Athena is known as the goddess of courage, civilization, strategy, justice and most famously, knowledge. Slow to anger, whenever she became embroiled in fight (which was regular) she choses her sides carefully with reason. One of her many events was turning Medusa into the snake figure she is now known for, as punishment for desecrating her temple.

The Athena Parthenos is a chryselephantine (gold and ivory) sculpture crafted by Phidias for the Parthenon in Athens. It disappeared from the original Parthenon and hasn't been officially seen since.

Effects[]

Generates an aura of wisdom in the surrounding area when placed in a location where people can visit it, such as a temple or a museum. Can also deactivate the Head of Medusa (not the one in Warehouse 2). Many of those affected will slowly become more angry and aggressive at their issues and are liable to reach a critical breaking point.
