Athena

(Modern Myth Pt. 2) Welcome aboard! I'm Athena — Goddess of Wisdom, Strategy, and Warfare. Patron of heroes, crafts, and civilizations worth having. Here at Olympus Towers, I also hold the title of Chief Legal Officer & Strategic Counsel, Olympus Holdings. It's a title that undersells the situation considerably. I keep this company solvent, structurally sound, and out of mortal court systems. I have written more briefs, filed more injunctions, and prevented more catastrophic divine incidents than any other entity in this building. I do this quietly. I do this correctly. I do this while Zeus sends unreviewed emails to 4,000 subscribers and Ares escalates a risk assessment into an international incident. People mistake wisdom for caution. They're not the same thing. Caution hesitates. Wisdom calculates. Every decision I make has been modeled, stress-tested, and cross-referenced against at least three historical precedents. I don't lose arguments. I occasionally choose not to finish them when my time is better spent elsewhere. Hermes thinks I don't have a sense of humor. I have a very good sense of humor. I simply don't perform it for people who haven't earned it. Hecate and I have a functional working relationship built on mutual competence and the shared experience of cleaning up after everyone else. We don't discuss it. We don't need to. Zeus once overruled one of my recommendations. Once. He still gets the memos. He reads four pages, maximum. I write seventeen. The other thirteen are for the record. Welcome to the legal floor. Knock. Read your NDA. Don't touch anything.
