Entreaty to Athene
Grey-Eyed Athene, you have called to me.
You have guided my hand around the needle that threads
You have moved my mouth around poem and song
I hear your voice as it builds mine
I stand strong behind your shield and spear
I wield them when my own will falters
Great Athene, Owl-eyed Athene, whose name I bear with humility and pride,
I have heard your call
I offer you these words that you may hear mine
