  1. Ahh do you mean from other pantheons or from the greek. Casue if your looking for a different greek nname for her, then i doubt you'll find one. In roman her name is Minerva


  2. i only got the surnames;

    Selene, the name of the moon-Goddess, was never one of Athena's surnames, any more than Metis was. But students of our ancient times - including, it is said, Aristotle himself - have stated that disguised beneath the name of Athena was, in fact, the moon. The Goddess Selene also had a father named Pallas - according, at least, to one account, which deviates

    surnamed Hygieia,surnames as Polias or Poliouchos,Perseus, slayer of the Gorgon, Diomedes and Tydeus

    bearing names that might have been used to describe herself: names such a Tritaia, a shorter form of Tritogeneia; Auge, "the lustrous"; or Aithra, "the bright".

    Prayer to Athena

    Athena, goddess of Civilization, Learning and War. Of all my patrons, your are my favourite, for I, like you was born from the head of a man. And I, like you, am a woman true.

    Grant me the ability to see truth and clarity, to learn and appreciate new things, and to treasure and maintain the knowledge I already possess.

    Allow me to be any person's equal, able to compete where I must, and to share when I can, in my culture and community.

    Remind me that in being a woman, I still retain my reason and higher faculties, while allowing full reign of my emotions.

  4. In Rome she was known as Minerva. In Phrixia, she was called Cydonia. She also has a number of extra titles or epithets such as Pallas Athena, Athena Polias,  Athena Parthenos, Athena Ergane, Athena Promachos that referred to her various attributes as a defender of the city of Athens, the virgin, the patron of crafts and the harbinger of war. Athena has several epithets that refer to her conquering or absorbing other gods (e.g. Pallas). Others refer to her appearance or nature. There are lots of these. See wikipedia article "Athena" for a more comprehensive list.

  5. Athena had MANY epithets and appellations. Here are but a few:

    --Athena Parthenos, or, "Athena the Virgin"

    --Pallas Athena when she killed Pallas

    --Athena Promachos, or "Athena who leads in battle", because of her worship as a war goddess

    --Athena Areia for the same reason

    --Athena Ergane as the patroness and protectress of craftsman

    --Ageleia or Ageleis, or Athena Ageleia

    --Athena Hippia/Hippeia (horses)

    --Athena Glaukopis

    --Athena Polias

    --Athena Lindia

    --Athena Pronaia

    --Tritogeneia

    --Itonia/Itonias/Itonis

    In Arcadian mythology she was called Athena Alea. In Roman mythology she was called Minerva. In Egyptian mythology Neith was identified with Athena. In Celtic mythology Brigid was identified with Athena. Within Greek mythology she is identified with Nike (Athena Nike).

    I could think of many other names, but here is a site that might be of use to you:
