Helen
Virgin goddess, one of the three deities who contended in the judgment of Paris; worshipped by Helen at Sparta as 'Athene of the Bronze House.'
Hera and Kypris, and the virgin daughter of Zeus, wishing to have the judgment of their loveliness decided.
I was gathering fresh rose leaves in the folds of my robe, so that I might go to the goddess of the Bronze House;
your husband has lost his life in the salty waves, and never again will you bring glee to your father’s halls and Athene of the Bronze House.
Heracleidae
Patron goddess of Athens, associated with Pallene and credited by the Chorus with having championed Heracles and his children.
Bury my body after death in its destined grave in front of the shrine of the virgin goddess at Pallene.
for instance, men say Athene used to champion their father, and now the citizens of that goddess have saved his children, and checked the insolence of him, whose heart preferred violence to justice.
For as he was crossing Pallene’s hill, sacred to the goddess Athene, he caught sight of Eurystheus’ chariot, and prayed to Hebe and to Zeus, that for one single day he might grow young again and wreak his vengeance on his foes.
Symposium
Goddess cited by Agathon as taught weaving under Love's guidance.
so that he too may be deemed a disciple of Love as likewise may the Muses in music, Hephaestus in metal-work, Athene in weaving and Zeus in pilotage of gods and men.
