Hi! You caught me right as I checked my inbox this mornign! It took me a minute to find it, but I knew the wonderful winebrightruby would have something! Also taggin her cause if anyone would know stuff other than what I’m gonna link (which is hers), it would be her. 

But she made these 2 photosets a few weeks ago: Athena of New Orleans and Athena of the Tigers.  She also has a list of modern Southern epithets for Athena as well as her overall local cultus tag, which has a lot of great stuff from a variety of people. 

Exactly what you said. And also what other fandoms use that term? I’m curious and like knowing things.

it’s good advice regardless ^

{Devotional Aesthetic} The Three Kharites; Aglaïa, Thalia and Euphrosyne

"And Eurynome (Broad Pasture), the daughter of Okeanos (Oceanus), beautiful in form, bare him [Zeus] three fair-cheeked Kharites (Charites, Graces), Aglaia (Aglaea, Glory, Beauty), and Euphrosyne (Merriment), and lovely Thaleia (Thalia, Festivity), from whose eyes as they glanced flowed love that unnerves the limbs: and beautiful is their glance beneath their brows."

- Hesiod, Theogony 907

{Devotional Aesthetic} Meletê, Mousai Titanide of Thought, Meditation, Pondering, Practice and Thought

"Again the first set of Musae are four, the daughters of the second Jupiter [i.e. Ouranos], Thelixonoe, Aode, Arche and Melete. The second set are the offspring of the third Jupiter [i.e. Zeus] and Mnemosyne, nine in number."

- Cicero, De Natura Deorum 3. 21

I vote for Athena.

LOVE POSEIDON LIKE I DO windandwild YOU TOO

Hahaha!  Honestly, of all the Hellenic deities, he has always been the one I’ve been most drawn to.  Even back when I was a little Southern Baptist boy, I read everything I could get my pre-teen hands on, haha!
