Why is the olive a symbol of Athena?

Athena, of which the name Athens comes from, was the goddess of the city. She was chosen over Poseidon, her uncle, the god of the Sea, for her gift, the olive branch, was considered much more valued than Poseidon's gift of a saltwater spout, which was basically good for nothing except looking pretty. As respect to the winners of an Olympic event that were given a wreath made from an olive branch, for it symbolized the highest achievement. Winners were honored in this way and were, in many cases, fed for the rest of their lives at the expense of their city. The olive was of huge economic value to the Ancient Greeks for its oil helped encourage trade and export the Greek culture to furthest parts of the then known world.

Characteristics of Athena?

Athena, the Greek Goddess, was most known for her wisdom. She was pictured with brown hair, a battle helmet, and war armor. She would also sometimes have an owl by her side or on her shoulder. She's the greek goddess of war, strategy, and wisdom, and different than Ares, who is the greek god of violent war, not strategic war. The birth of Athena is also pretty interesting, she popped out of Zeus' head (when Hephaestus chopped it open) and she was dressed in completely battle armor. She is the daughter of Metis and Zeus, because Zeus swallowed Metis whole (that's another story) and then eventually, Athena came to be.

Why is Greek mythology important to know now?

I don't really know, but a long time ago it was created by man to explain the weird things that they couldn't explain, i.e. thunder and lightning (What Zeus did when he was angry), storms, mountains, etc., so I guess its not really essential for us to know, it just helped with the explaining to the "weird happenings" that they could not explain.

It is when some thing is not explainable in a sort of way so they create a myth to explain in a more convincing on how a event had happened so the others would believe you.

How are deeper abscesses treated?

Written by a 9 year old-To get rid of an abscess you can go to a dentist and get a prescription for antibiotics , then when the abscess has gone you'll probably get your tooth pulled out. To get rid of the pain of an abscess you need to put heat on it so maybe try a whee tie or a hot water bottle. If you have read other paragraphs saying you have a chance that you can die, don't listen to it, you can only die from an abscess that is covering your nose and mouth which is probably not possible. So don't worry, you will NOT die. If you put cold on an abscess like frozen food or things like that you will go numb then in like 10 minutes the numbness will wear off and you will sting like mad and it will bleed! Don't use cold , use heat. Thank-you for reading and if it helped you with an abscess, just remember you got advice from a nine year old who has had 3 abscesses, thankyou:)
