What are some significant actions or crimes Athena made?

1. Medusa was once a beautiful woman even though she was a Gorgon while her two sisters were hideous. She was so beautiful she caught the attention of Poseidon who raped her in the temple of Athena and Hephaesteus. Athena discovered what happened and transformed Medusa into a monster like her sisters with snakes for her hair, a snake-like body, and sight that would turn any who met it into stone. 2. A later Roman addition of myth (not sure if this will count for you or not) involves a young woman named Arachne. She was the daughter of a famous dyer and a student of Athena's weaving. Eventually she began boasting that her skills were beyond the goddess' own. Athena transformed into an elderly woman and warned Arachne not to challenge the might of the gods. Arachne ignored the advice and stated she wished there to be a contest between herself and the goddess. Athena wove a tapestry of her victory over Poseidon (in the naming of Athens) while Arachne wove a scene of the infidelities of the gods, namely Jupiter with several of the humans he seduced. Athena had to admit that Arachne's work was flawless but she was so outraged at the disrespectful topic that she destroyed the girl's loom and tapestry and (depending on the myth) either struck her with her staff turning her into a spider or her anger upset Arachne enough for the girl to hang herself, after which Athena took pity upon her and made her a spider. 3. Athena is sometimes referred to as Pallas Athena. Pallas was actually her companion and best friend in the early years of her life. However one day when they were sparring Athena accidentally killed Pallas but took her name up in rememberence.

Explain the difference between crimes of criminal conduct and crimes of criminal intent?

Generally, most crimes require a "mens rea" or intent requirement. For example, murder generally requires that you intended to cause the death of a person. However, there are some crimes that do NOT require an intent to commit the crime. Those crimes are much more uncommon and include such crimes as manslaughter. You didn't' intend to cause the death of another person, but your negligent actions resulted in a death.

What crimes did Zeus commit?

murder when zues was with hera he raped her. that's how Athena was born. he didnt want her to overthrow him so he ate her. these are some crimes he committed Not even kind of right. Zeus had a headache one day and Athena came out. She's not a product of rape, she's not even a product of intercourse. I also don't remember Zeus EATING anyone, that was his dad, Kronos/Chronos, or Father Time. The Greek gods really don't like cannibalism as most of them were eating as children. Tantalus fed people to the gods and they gave him his own special, terrible, punishment in Hades for his actions. Zeus did, however, turn into an animal to seduce this girl...it's better if you look it up.
