Document Summary
Athena: epithets: pallas, defender of cities, grey-eyed, parthenos, usually she is wearing a helmet, or any kind of armour. Hephaestus wanted to marry athena and poseidon and goaded him on: athena is a virigin goddess however, so she turned him away. He tried to rape her, but she easily got away, and he ejaculated onto the ground. A crow tells it not to do that because it has a similar story: the crow tells the story of erichtonous. Apollo shoots coronis with an arrow: as she is dying she tells him that she is pregnant, apollo takes the baby out of her. This baby is asclepius, the god of medicine: apollo punishes the raven by turning him black. Callisto: artemis was often in the forest with a posy. To be in this group you had to be a virigin. Greek mythology: she asks the ocean to make sure ursa major never touches the water.
