The most beautiful of all the goddesses was Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Her eyes were as blue as the summer sky overhead, her skin as fair as the white sea-foam from which she came, and her hair as golden as the yellow rays of the setting sun. Aphrodite was the kindest and gentlest of the goddesses.
Athena was one of the most powerful of the goddesses. She was more warlike than the other goddesses, and was almost always successful in her battles. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and learning.
