The violent thrust of the goddess of dazzling look, profundamente shocked the rest of Olympus: he rang the Earth with hideous DIN, agitóse the sea and the waves are confused with clouds. «In the sky, the brilliant son of Hyperión halted long time their fastest steeds, until the Pallas Athena Virgin there was relieved his immortal shoulders the weight of the divine armor». Pallas Athena, leaving armed male head, representing the wise always willing to fight against ignorance and error.
