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.

Athena was based on the based goddess Inanna/Ishtar, but the Greeks went and made a mockery of her blessed form. Stavros Halkias must pay for this.
