Discover the adventures of Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, war and courage. From her extraordinary birth - sprung from the head of her father, in the midst of a thunderous headache - to her refusal to take no for an answer. Find out how she inspired powerful gods, goddesses and humans and the terrifying fate of those who dared to cross her path. Follow Athena as she competes against her bad-tempered uncle; watch as she turns her enemy into a spider and join her as she keeps Odysseus safe on his remarkable journey home. Prepare to be amazed as you uncover the story of one of the most fearless ancient goddesses, and the tales of a world where humans, gods and goddesses could meet. Illustrated and written by the brilliantly talented sister duo, Isabel and Imogen Greenberg, this is a story of daring for goddesses-in-the-making.

Athena: the Story of a Goddess

Briar's Reviews

Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and War is a lovely introduced for readers wanting to learn more about mythology. There's also some great girl power in this book as well! I do like the introduction to the Greek Gods in this book - the images that go along with them match wonderfully with how I image the Gods.

I will say, about a third of the book is being introduced to the Gods, and then you get 2/3rds of content for the actual story. 

This book is a must read for fans of mythology or want to see more women leading our books! Athena is a powerful warrior, and is a perfect addition to your shelf.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, ABRAMS Kids and Amulet Books for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
