Told by Athena in the first person, Call Me Athena gives young readers a unique entry into the world of Greek mythology, and provides interesting cultural and historical context in a nonfiction section illustrated with a family tree of the Olympians, maps, and photographs. How will she protect her friends and end the conflict? What are the ramifications on Olympus? Where does Athena finally find herself at home-and where can you find her now? Her attachment to three in particular-Diomedes, Odysseus, and Achilles-draws her into the Trojan War. Her adventures bring her down to Earth, where she forms close bonds with the Greek Heroes. A motherless newcomer, she has to find her own place and purpose. Athena, Greek Goddess of Wisdom, steps fully formed from her father's head into the already established world of the Olympians. ![]()
