"Yet there are three hearts that she (Aphrodite) cannot bend nor yet ensnare. First is the daughter of Zeus who holds the aigis, bright-eyed Athene; for she has no pleasure in the deeds of golden Aphrodite, but delights in wars and in the work of Ares, in strifes and battles and in preparing famous crafts."

Homeric Hymn 5 to Aphrodite 7 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C7th to 4th B.C.)

The other two maiden goddesses were Hestia and Artemis.
