Athena is, in Greek mythology, the goddess of wisdom, skilled crafts, and a clever kind of war — not wild fighting, but planning, skill, and courage with a clear head. The city of Athens took her as its protector; the on the was her great temple. Old stories often give her an owl, and an olive tree.
Athena雅典娜 is, in Greek mythology在希臘神話裡, the goddess of wisdom, skilled crafts, and a clever kind of war是智慧、精湛技藝,以及一種聰明戰爭的女神 — not而不是 wild fighting野蠻的打鬥,but而是 planning, skill, and courage with a clear head謀略、技巧,和頭腦清楚的勇氣。The city of Athens雅典城 took her as its protector把她當作守護神;the Parthenon on the Acropolis衛城上的帕德嫩神廟 was her great temple就是她的大神廟。Old stories古老的故事裡 often give her an owl常給她一隻貓頭鷹, and和 an olive tree一棵橄欖樹。
It is a proper name, so it takes a capital letter. English keeps this school-and-Latin form Athena; modern Greek has a sister form, Athina.
It它 is a proper name是一個專有名詞, so所以 it takes a capital letter要大寫。English英文 keeps this school-and-Latin form Athena保留了這個學術兼拉丁式的拼法Athena;modern Greek現代希臘語 has a sister form, Athina有另一個對應的形式Athina。
Though actually, students mix her up with Athens the city, and sometimes with other war goddesses. She is not the city. And she is not only “the smart one”: craft and strategy sit beside wisdom in the old stories.
Though actually不過其實,students學生 mix her up with Athens the city會把她跟雅典這座城市搞混,and而 sometimes有時候 with other war goddesses也會跟其他的戰爭女神搞混。She她 is not the city不是那座城市。And而且 she她 is not only "the smart one"不只是「聰明的那位」: craft and strategy技藝和謀略 sit beside wisdom in the old stories在古老故事裡是和智慧並列的。
組成From Middle English Athena, from Latin Athēna, from Ancient Greek Athēnâ. Athina is a doublet: another form of the same name, closer to modern Greek.
