Athenian Water: Difference between revisions
No edit summary |
(Please look at this edit thoroughly. The reference to the city of Athens and its Water Technology makes no sense since the city of Athens itself derives its name from the Goddess to begin with, and the water technology itself is said to have been a gift from her(in some myths it was Poseidon or another God/Goddess but that is besides the point). I have linked my source in the references.) |

A reference to one of origin myths the Greek Goddess Athena.

Etymology
A reference to one of origin myths the Greek Goddess Athena. In the Iliad (4.514), the Odyssey (3.378), the Homeric Hymns, and in Hesiod's Theogony, Athena is also given the curious epithet Tritogeneia (Τριτογένεια), whose significance remains unclear.[70] It could mean various things, including "Triton-born", perhaps indicating that the homonymous sea-deity was her parent according to some early myths.[70] One myth relates the foster father relationship of this Triton towards the half-orphan Athena, whom he raised alongside his own daughter Pallas.[54] Kerényi suggests that "Tritogeneia did not mean that she came into the world on any particular river or lake, but that she was born of the water itself; for the name Triton seems to be associated with water generally."[71][72] In Ovid's Metamorphoses, Athena is occasionally referred to as "Tritonia".[2]
