Member's Choice at :iconmanipulatethis:

"I am Athena, the daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Metis. I am a virgin goddess of war, wisdom and crafts to the Greek people.

I sprang forth, fully grown, from Zeus' head after he swallowed Metis. Gaea had warned that a child born of Metis may take over, so when Metis became pregnant, Zeus swallowed her.

I was worshiped most notably at Athens, which celebrated my cult primarially. Poseidon and I were both fond of the city, and it was decided that the one who could give the citizens the greatest gift would earn the city. Poseidon created a spring, but the water was salty like his seas. I created the better gift, an olive tree, which gave food, wood and oils to the people."

This was created especially for an entry for the contest that :iconphotomanipulatorsx3: is having. The goal is to create a manipulation depicting either a myth or fairy tale. This was a pleasure to create as it just came together so smoothly. All comments and favs are always appreciated. Please understand I am very thankful for these, just a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to thanking all you generous people.
Special thanks go out to those who supply such wonderful stock for to use in completing our vision:

I created the shield because I couldn't find just the right one.
