They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Athena (imposter). This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |
A woman posing as the Greek goddess Athena was active during the Peloponnesian War in the Port of Kechries, Korinthia, Greece.
Biography
In the 420s BCE, the woman arrived in the Port of Kechries in Korinthia, and while there, she met the eagle bearing Spartan misthios Kassandra. Claiming to know her on fame alone, the woman tasked Kassandra to complete a riddle and investigate a Megarian burial site,[1] and then set a series of task for her to complete.[2]
Following all these tasks, the woman told Kassandra to finally enter the Tomb of Gorgophone under a volcano, and retrieve a helmet.[3] With the helmet in hand, Kassandra returned to the woman. Adjusting the headgear, the woman asked what Kassandra thought of her, and the misthios answered. Satisfied with her answer, the woman then vanished.[4]
