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.

I thought Athena was either married to Hephaestus, in virgin goddess territory or both I guess depending on which myth you were reading.

That said she was a goddess of wisdom, craft and war so very much what neoliberals think of themselves as
