Athena Minerva Quotes

“Through her ingenuity she invented a shorthand Greek script in which a long written narrative could be transcribed with far fewer letters, and which is still used by the Greeks today, a fine invention whose discovery demanded great sublety. She [Minerva/Pallas (Athena)] invented numbers and a means of quickly counting and adding sums.”
― Christine de Pizan, The Book of the City of Ladies

“I perceived a hypocrite in every soul that passed through the temple's hallowed doors, beseeching our goddess for wisdom in battle, yet blind to the statue that stood before them
A truth that spear and feminine spirit might coexist in harmony.”
― Ashezi ., Emotions Are Cliché : A classical poetry and prose collection
