Hey, not a problem. All Haynes does is lay out the actual texts we have with dry wit. Yeah, that sounds about right for Athena. Consider Ariadne, who got seduced by Athena’s champion into betraying her father, then when she ran away with Theseus, he left her on a fucking island to die. In one version, he’s given the excuse that Dionysus wants to marry her, and so he still leaves her without explanation or apology. Every one of Athena’s “champions” are dicks. From war-criminal Odysseus to serial abductor and pedophile Theseus, to Mr. “I’m going to go kill some random lady who’s bothering nobody on an island” himself, Perseus.

You either are on her bad side, or you’re a smug dick who is so awful that you’ve got Athena’s respect, the most dubious honour in the Kosmos.
