Naming of Athena

The 1978 Bristol passed into Sailorette's hands with the name Alexis Dare.
One day Sailorette received a gift from a wonderful friend of an owl figurine and a card indicating Sailorette reminded the friend of the Greek goddess Athena. Avoiding all temptation of ego, Sailorette decided she did not deserve the memory of Athena, but felt instead the Universe was telling her to rename the 1978 Bristol, Athena.
Athena: Greek Goddess of Wisdom - Her decisions were usually well-considered, highly ethical, and seldom motivated by self-interest.
Symbol or Attribute: Owl, signifying watchfulness and wisdom. There is evidence that in early times, Athena was an owl herself, or a bird goddess in general, with one story indicating she took on the form of a sea-eagle.
She is also known as Greek goddess of strategy, crafts, war, skills, industry, and justice.
Although the goddess of war, she always worked to prevent war.
As goddess of crafts, she was celebrated as the patron of weavers, potters, goldsmiths, sculptors, musicians, and horsemen. Athena was credited with the invention of the yoke and the bridle, the sailing ship, and the flute and trumpet.
Athena is usually portrayed as one of the most benevolent goddesses . . . strong, fair, and merciful. She was, in essence, the prototype of the contemporary "career woman", unswayed by the spells of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and the consequent pull of marriage and motherhood.
Athena stood for strength and independence for women!!
More than any other of the Greek goddesses , Athena remains a symbol of civilization, useful knowledge, noble reasoning, logic and wisdom.
The goddess Athena reminds us that we can successfully use our intellect and creativity in the pursuit of any goal we choose.
