Athena Glaukopis
A Prayer to The Goddess of Wisdom
Harken to my entreaty, goddess fair
Deathless, wise, all-conquering Athena
Life without your blessing, I cannot bear
It is a bleak and vicious arena
You sprang from the brow of Zeus, gods’ father
Is my mortal mind fit to be a womb?
From you, wisdom flows like clean, fresh water
What will flow to me, as I near the tomb?
Tritogeneia they name you, maiden
For you came to be near Trio’s rich shore
Truths that from dim, foolish eyes lie hidden
Reveal to me, before I see no more
Grey-eyed queen of tumults and wars, bless me
While yet I breathe, let me your servant be
