How can Annabeth be Athena's daughter when Athena is one of the three virgin Goddesses?
The character 'Annabeth' from Rick Riordan's 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series is entirely fictional. In 'actual' Greek mythology, Athena never had any children.
In the Percy Jackson series, it was described that Annabeth was produced similarly to how Athena herself was born- Annabeth was born from thoughts, not an actual sexual union.
It is explained in the 4th book. Athena was born from a cut in zues's head and she grew out of it fully formed. the athenian children are created in a similar way just without the cut. the ingenuity of the father and the sheer power of Athena combine to create a child.
What are some hate crimes committed by the 18st gang?
I lived in LA almost all my life.As you may know there are not a lot of white people in LA,well the ghetto part,so I'm guessing there not the ones being victimized.
As for blacks,18st had beef with the Black P Stones because a member of 18st was shot by them.Since BPS is a really small gang,4 or 5 other gangs are helping BPS against 18st.
The gang currently at war with 18st are BPS,BPS(city),Rollin 20s,SAG,BDS,and maybe one more.
So when you hear the news of a "hate crime" remember this.

Did Athena the Goddess of Wisdom play an instrument?
"No, it was Apollo."
Not quite.
All the Greek gods had instruments associated with them, if for no other reason than certain instruments were regarded as evocative of certain aspects of the various gods (frame drum and bull-roarer for Zeus as an example) and thus were deemed useful in ceremonies devoted to certain gods.
These associations were then often interwoven into the general mythological narrative.
Athena was associated with and has stories connecting her with the invention and playing of the Aulos flute, and the invention of the horn...both possibly due to her aspect as goddess of artisans and warfare respectively (speculation).
With respect to the flute, the most popular story has her rejecting it possible due to the flute being a frenzy instrument associated with orgiastic and/or trance rites after the introduction of Dionysian cults into Attica ...these new instrumental associations imported from Thrace not being in keeping with Athena's traditional virtues.
What favor does Athena grant Odysseus and Penelope?
Athena begs her father Zeus to allow her to aid Odysseus, so he can go home to his family. She says,"My own heart is broken for Odysseus". Athena goes as far as enhancing his appearance so that Princess Nausikaa will be sure to help him reach home. Once Odysseus reaches the city that Nausikaa leads him to, Athena "pours a sea fog" around him to protect him, and she takes on the form of a small girl in order to show him the way to the palace. Once Athena leads Odysseus home to Ithaka, she disguises herself as a sheperd boy and makes conversation with her beloved Odysseus. However, she eventually transforms herself into her natural state.

Of the more well-known goddesses, I would say that Athena is your best bet. There might be a more obscure one. Of course, if I had my way, I would say it was Psyche. She's my favorite. Read her story and you'll see why I think she should be given the "Determination" mantle!

May Antigone have fared better if she had treated Creon with respect in 'Antigone'?
It is possible - but doubtful given her uncle's personality - that Antigone may have fared better if she had treated Creon with respect in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon criticizes Princess Antigone and her brother Polyneices but approves Antigone's docile sister Princess Ismene and ambitious brother Eteocles. In line with his expressed animosity toward women, Creon is on record for calling Antigone foolish for comforting her father and defending her brother's legitimate claim to the Theban throne. He is as unworkable as any stalker who debunks and ruins his prey, particularly by playing family members against each other.
