ATHENA, PALLAS; THE DAUGHTER OF ZEUS
A symbol of Wisdom, the principle of buddhi,
in various aspects, proceeding from the Supreme.
"Unto men Athena gives good things -namely wisdom, understanding,
and the creative arts; and she dwells in their citadels, I suppose,
as being the founder of civil government through the communication
of her own wisdom." - EMP. JULIAN, The Sovereign Sun, p. 243.
Unto the mental faculties buddhi brings intuition, dwelling in the
mind-centre (citadel) and founding moral order.
"Pallas Athene came to Achilles from heaven, sent forth of the
white-armed goddess Hera, whose heart loved both (Achilles and
Agamemnon) alike and had care for them." - Iliad, Book I.
The Wisdom from the Highest descended forth from the potential
Wisdom (Hera) in the realm of pure Love which included sympathy for
both the personality (Achilles) or mental element, and the
desire-mind (Agamemnon) with its appetites; and was to become the
means of reconciling them.
