Battle Weary Athena - A Valentine's Day Offering

I started this one towards the end of my Marywood stint. Athena was the goddess of wisdom, originally she was also the goddess of love, but a change in politics occurred with the birth of the beautiful Aphrodite. I suppose having intelligent educated women in charge of love was not that appealing to males. She was relegated to the goddess of war after said birth, although are the full attributes of Athena really that bad of a combination? The goddess of love, wisdom, and warfare. After all is love really without its scraps? Is it better to fight them with wisdom or the blind rage of Ares?
