Goddess of Fashion

Endymata is the Greek goddess of fashion. Endymata was the daughter of Athena. Young Endymata was first found by emerging from Athena’s blue and gold toga which Athena was sleeping in Endymata came to be as a very young adult. Athena did not know she had had a daughter, since Endymata just ran off after sprouting about her mother’s outfit. Endymata was walking about Athena’s palace, and then some of Athena’s guards spotted her thinking she was a mortal intruder. They escorted her out of Athena’s palace and when they were very close the exit of Mount Olympus, Endymata attempted to break free of the guards’ arms, but failed. She tried escaping again and broke loose with the guards chasing her. The guard then used their powers to make her go to sleep and forget everything that happened that evening.

Endymata awoke in the middle of a cobblestone road in the city of Athens, she felt very lost and confused since she does not remember anything about herself or where she came from. She was a lonely orphan with no family to help support her, so she then found herself an orphanage for her to thrive in. The orphanage rarely had anything for the orphans to do since they did not have much money, because of that the orphans wander around picking trash. Endymata usually went to a temple to pray to Athena, so she could remember her past. In the middle of the day, Endymata found herself some sewing utensils and clothing material she took them as a sign from Athena. That night when it was time for them to sleep, she started sewing and sewing and created a very gorgeous garment for women. The orphanage matron, Melita, was very surprised of Endymata’s elegant work of clothing attire. Melita had an idea of making their place like a tailor, so she spent the last bits of the orphanage’s money to get the materials for making clothes. She forced all the other orphans to create their own designs, but none of

    Lily is a fourteen-year-old girl whose mother died when she was four years old, an accident that Lily feels she was responsible for. She dresses in clothes she made in home economics. She is not a popular person in school. She has jet-black hair that resembles a nest of cowlicks, no chin, Sophia Loren eyes and an inferiority complex. She takes to picking scabs on her body and biting the flesh around her fingernails until they bleed. Boys, even the hard-up ones, ignore her. Rosaleen makes Lily wear breeches in the cold, which are neither fashionable nor complimentary, especially under her dresses. Girls become quiet when she walks past, because she has no fashion…

According to Greek mythology, Athena sprang from the head of Zeus, fully grown and wearing battle attire. Athena is always portrayed with her armor and helmet, carrying her shield and lance. Athena is also a gifted craftsman; she created the bridle to tame horses, along with many other crafts and useful objects. Her favorite bird is the owl, which is the symbol of wisdom, watchfulness and the hunt. Athena made all of her followers live a life of purity, and she created a big impact on Greece’s history. On of the most famous myths involving Athena is the origination of the city of the Athens’ symbol. The story begins when Poseidon and Athena have a dispute over who is to rule Athens. Whoever greats the best symbol to represent the city would become patron god or goddess. Poseidon, god of the sea, produced a freshwater spring for the Acropolis. Athena chose to present an olive tree, one of her many symbols. Because olive trees are deemed very useful, Athena became crowned patron goddess of Athens, and she has been ever since.…

    Athena Role Model

    • 801 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Athena is one of the most well known goddesses from ancient Greece. She is Goddess of Wisdom and of War and is a good example of the template used for our modern day female superhero. Often called a feminist goddess, she is described as strong in both her character and body, independent and fierce, wise and rational. The story of Athena’s birth is well known. Zeus consumed the Titan goddess Metis and began to suffer a headache, Hephaestus then splits Zeus’ head open to relieve the ache and out of the wound sprung Athena. If you look close enough, Athena was born of man and woman asexually, but it was often said, even by Athena herself that she was born only of man. This course of action is a denial of the maternal origin and her mother is never seen in ancient myth as a disrespect. The denial of birth and female power to give birth commandeers this power and creates another layer of patriarchal views on the creation of life in the world. She belongs to only her father and sees herself as his greatest and most trusted heir. She was a part of the world in a way the women of her time were not allowed to be, a goddess of both war and wisdom, when the women in society were seen as irrational and unpredictable by the men around them. But she still remains a beacon of what a perfect women should be in their society, virginal, beautiful and loyally pledged to…

    The first female in the Odyssey to be seen in full effect is the beautiful goddess.

    After introducing myself to all the girls, the 12 girls dragged me to their room with so much excitement. Walking into their room, I had to stop and take a deep breath. I knew the orphanage wouldn't have much, but I never imagined how little they really had. Their room looked like it belonged to an old abandoned house. The ceiling caved in; it smelled of an old dusty attic and had nothing in it but 12 beds, 3 dressers and a couple dirty stuffed animals just lying around. Some girls had pictures of when they were babies, some didn't have anything. I stood there silent. Tears balanced on my eyelids because at that moment, I realized that I have been so ungrateful for what I have, while other young, beautiful girls around the world have nothing but a bed and a stuffed animal. I think about all my clothes, shoes, friends and family that…
