Athena's ACE paragraph
The best choice for president of Mount Olympus is Athena. According to the website greek mythology.com, "Poseidon and Athena had a much-publicized quarrel over who deserves to be the patron of the most prosperous Ancient Greek city, Athens. Poseidon claimed that the city would benefit more from him than Athena and to prove this, he struck his trident into a rock, creating a seawater stream which welled up in a temple on the north side of the Acropolis. Smart as she was, Athena did nothing spectacular: she merely planted an olive tree. However, the first king of Athens, Cecrops – who was the judge of the contest – realized that the olive tree was much more beneficial, since it gave the Athenians fruit, oil and wood." This illustrates that Athena possessed intelligence. It is important for the next president of Olympus to be intelligent because she could make smart decisions and rule wisely. Additionally, the website pantheon.org states, "As Athena promoted the internal prosperity of the state, by encouraging agriculture and industry, and by maintaining law and order in all public transactions, so also she protected the state from outward enemies, and thus assumes the character of a warlike divinity, though in a very different sense from Ares, Eris, or Enyo. According to Homer, she does not even bear arms, but borrows them from Zeus; she keeps men from slaughter when prudence demands it, and repels Ares' savage love of war, and conquers him. She does not loves war for its own sake, but simply on account of the advantages which the state gains in engaging in it; and she therefore supports only such warlike undertakings as are begun with prudence, and are likely to be followed by favorable results." This proves that Athena cares for humankind as she promotes prosperity, protects the state, and loves war for the gains the city gets.
