Ancient Greek mythological goddess of wisdom, said to have been born from the head of Zeus. Is often portrayed as warlike, wearing a helm, armour, carrying a spear and the legendary shield AEgis and accomponied by an owl.

The city of Athens was named after her after a contest between herself and Poseidon, god of the sea. The competition involved giving the new city the greatest gift - Poseidon gave them the river, but Athena gave them olive trees.
I often imagine Athena's armour to be blue, due to a Greek mythology graphic novel I once read as a child.

I do everything with her in mind. she is by far the most important person in my life, without her, I would be lost with no way back.

athens townie 

n aging hipster in Athens, Georgia. Stylistically ahead of the curve, these are creative people who were hot 15 years ago, but are unfortunately stuck. Alchoholism and drug addiction is thought to be the primary stumbling block to the success of this otherwise friendly species. There is also the problem of big fish/small pond syndrome. The male townies are responsible for having brought trucker hats and mechanics shirts to the fashion forefront as early as 1990. Most townies are in a band, in a pretend band, or dating someone in a band or pretend band. They wear thrift store clothes and ride bicycles or crappy cars. All in all, they consume very little new goods, making them harmless to the environment. Typical townie occupations consist of working at restaurants, coffee houses, record stores, copy shops, video stores, or the local alternative publication. Ironically, many now wear their blue collar shirts literally, as they approach 40 or 50 and have construction or maintenance careers.
*That bar is so cute on weekends, but steer clear weekdays— it's totally packed with lecherous old athens townies.
*I know what you mean. It's so depressing how much they drink on Mondays!

Athens Drive High School 

The most mixed up/ f*ked up school in North Carolina. Home to the rich white snobs shipped in from Cary, the ghetto/welfare blacks from Raleigh and the illegal/ex-prisonmates mexicans. Where there is at least one gang war, two stabbings, and 20 car thefts every year. Where football team has been last in the state for over 10 years now and seems to never get any better. Where the freshman girls seem to be screwing earlier and earlier. Where if you go out into the parking lot all you see are cars that are all worth over $40,000 and then go down a little furter down the road near the school and you will find cars worth $40. You got your variety of white folks there... the rich-hippies, the rich-yuppies, the rich-sluts, and the rich-geniuses. Where certain kids get picked up in a new $100,000 car every day. Where there is an enmorous amount of pot smoking going on but depending on how much money you have the kind of pot you have (i.e. headies, middies, swag, and FIRREEEE) where everyone does drugs but the white/rich snobs from Cary get the money from their parents and ghetto black/mexicans rob each other or the white snobs from Cary for it. Home to the original senior rock, Athens has some of the highest G.P.A's and some of the lowest G.P.A's. Where the ex-mayor son goes and gets high with all the other rich pot heads in their mercedes/BMW's/or whatever car that daddy bought for them. Athens is known for having the white population decrease every year and number of gang members start to increase. Athens is known for their hot cheerleaders and pothead but definately hot soccer team... Basically Athens is your ultimate melting pot...the only thing you need to know is that if your at athens you either have crack, a gun, or coach purse.
