To begin, here are seven reasons why it is very obvious that
Athena is Eve:
1. The Judeo-Christian tradition traces the current state of humanity
back to a woman, a serpent, and a tree. Athena's idol-image shows us the woman
and the serpent, but where is the tree? The very core of the statue is wood—a
tree. In both the Greek and Judeo-Christian traditions, a tree is at the core
of what happened between a woman and a serpent. (the term tree is often
used symbolically to represent a person or an angel for example, "the bad tree
is hewn down and cast into the lake of fire").
2. Athena’s very name speaks of Eve. In Genesis 3:4, the serpent
promised Eve that when she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil “you shall not surely die.” In the most ancient Greek writing, the
name of the goddess first appears as ATHANA. The word THANATOS in ancient
Greek means death. A-THANATOS signifies deathlessness. A-thana is the
shortened form of A-thanatos meaning the deathless one, or more specifically,
the embodiment of the serpent’s promise to Eve that she would never die, but
would be as the gods, knowing good and evil. Through Athana(tos), later called
Athena, the serpent has made good his promise to Eve (Athena and Eden,
Chapter 3).
3. Note that the serpent rises up next to Athena as a friend. In
Genesis, Yahweh had condemned the serpent to crawl on its belly as a deceiver
of humanity, yet all who entered the Parthenon to worship or admire the great
statue were forced to look up to both Athena and the serpent. That is because
the Greek religious system, the very opposite of the Judeo-Christian, was
based on the notion that the serpent had enlightened humanity in paradise.
4. Athena holds Nike in her right hand, the hand of power. Nike
symbolizes Victory—Eve’s victory for humanity when she ate the fruit offered
by the serpent. Athena is the only goddess in Greek art who is ever pictured
holding Nike...

Apollo drew his bow and fired arrow after arrow into the deadly pythondragon guarding the sacred ground of Ge, the goddess of the earth. With his victory, Apollo gained the right to call the slopes of Delphi his earthly sanctuary. It is a beautiful myth. Out of it grew the story of the Oracle of Delphi, a soothsayer who inhaled the breath of Apollo. The Pythia, the priestess who sat on a tripod inhaling fumes from the bowels of the earth, went into trances and muttered incomprehensible phrases, ...Zeus devotees worship in Athens
Worshippers who believe in the 12 gods of ancient Greece have held a ceremony at the Temple of Zeus in Athens. This is a landmark event to celebrate official recognition of their religion by a court last year. The Greek Orthodox Church has said they are miserable resuscitators of a degenerate dead religion. But the ceremony went ahead, with crowds watching priests and priestesses, who said the event was a symbol of their civic rights. In 2003, white-clad worshippers performedan illicit ceremony ...Legend of Perseus
Archaeologists have discovered the place where Aeneas is believed to have first set foot in Italy. It is the closest point on the Italian peninsula to Albania and, until efforts by the coastguard some years ago, was the destination of choice for Albanians fleeing poverty for the glamour and prosperity of their wealthy neighbour. But suddenly, the little town of Castro in the province of Lecce has something much more exciting to shout about. Archaeologists at the University of Lecce have discover...Evidence of pre-Zeus deity found
Submitted by Da Verminator: Before Zeus hurled his first thunderbolt from Olympus, the pre-Greek people occupying the land presumably paid homage and offered sacrifices to their own gods and goddesses, whose nature and identities are unknown to scholars today. But archaeologists say they have now found the ashes, bones and other evidence of animal sacrifices to some pre-Zeus deity on the summit of Mount Lykaion, in the region of Greece known as Arcadia. The remains were uncovered last summer at ...Oriclae of Delphi
Most of the well-known constellations are associated with stories from classical mythology. Often the stories are intertwined, and several groups of stars enter into a single tale. One such fable, "Apollo and the Crow," features three constellations: the Crow, the Cup and the Watersnake. You can watch the story unfold on any evening in early spring.Once the crow was much different than the bird we know today. It had white, lustrous feathers; its voice was sweet and melodiou...Legend of Hercules

Legends about the Amazons - a
warlike tribe of women warriors - have existed in various cultures throughout
the world. Not many people realize, however, that Amazons are closely associated
with Azerbaijan. Yes, ancient Greeks believed that Caucasian Albania was the
native land of the Amazons. Perhaps, much of what has been written about Amazons
is only a legend; however, it is true that many Albanian women really did serve
in the armies of Caucasian Albania wh...
