Goddess of Wisdom

Last night Clare went to a costume party.

After much deliberation she decided to be a Greek goddess. (our Meg costume from Hercules has been so useful)

Next she had to pick a goddess, Aphrodite, Athena, or Artemis (the others weren't even considered)

We looked up images and stories for each online.

Artemis: goddess of young girls and of the hunt. Known to turn men into deer.

Clare's thought: Why would you do that!? Not her.

Aphrodite: goddess of love and beauty traditionally painted naked

Clare's thought: I don't want to be the naked goddess.

Athena: goddess of wisdom, crafts and war. Symbol: the owl.

Clare's thought: She knows everything and she likes owls. This is the goddess for me.
