 | | Some have said that Hephaestus, who is akin to Athena because he also protects the crafts, attempted to rape this virgin goddess, and that when she was escaping him he dropped his seed on Athena's leg whereupon she, in disgust, wiped off the seed with wool and threw it on the ground. |
 | | In any case, Athena is said to have brought Erichthonius 2 up unknown to the other gods, hiding the child in a chest, which she gave to the daughters of King Cecrops 1 of Athens to guard. |
 | | Athena was present in many occasions during the Trojan War, helping the Achaeans, for she never forgave the seducer Paris, nor his family and country, the humiliation she suffered on Mount Ida, when he judged in favour of Aphrodite. |
