Summary
This is a re-airing of an earlier episode. We all know how helpful Athena is when it comes to male heroes, but what about when she encounters women?
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
