It is generally agreed that the cult of Athena preserves some aspects of the Proto-Indo-European transfunctional goddess. [27] [28] The cult of Athena may have also been influenced by those of Near Eastern warrior goddesses such as the East Semitic Ishtar and the Ugaritic Anat, [10] both of whom were often portrayed bearing arms. [12] Classical scholar Charles Penglase notes that Athena resembles Inanna in her role as a "terrifying warrior goddess" [29] and that both goddesses were closely linked with creation. [29] Athena's birth from the head of Zeus may be derived from the earlier Sumerian myth of Inanna's descent into and return from the Underworld. [30] [31] La Adelita is a folk song about a female soldier in the revolution who fell in love with Francisco I. Madero. Today, Adelita has become an archetype of women warriors in Mexico, and a symbol of action and inspiration.

Athena was sometimes given the epithet Hippia (Ἵππια "of the horses", "equestrian"), [41] [42] referring to her invention of the bit, bridle, chariot, and wagon. [41] The Greek geographer Pausanias mentions in his Guide to Greece that the temple of Athena Chalinitis ("the bridler") [42] in Corinth was located near the tomb of Medea's children. [42] Other epithets include Ageleia, Itonia and Aethyia, under which she was worshiped in Megara. [43] [44] The word aíthyia ( αἴθυια) signifies a "diver", also some diving bird species (possibly the shearwater) and figuratively, a "ship", so the name must reference Athena teaching the art of shipbuilding or navigation. [45] In a temple at Phrixa in Elis, reportedly built by Clymenus, she was known as Cydonia (Κυδωνία). [46] Pausanias wrote that at Buporthmus there was a sanctuary of Athena Promachorma (Προμαχόρμα), meaning protector of the anchorage. [47] [48] Lagertha: Lagertha was, according to legend, a Viking shieldmaiden and ruler from what is now Norway, and the onetime wife of the famous Viking Ragnar Lodbrok. Her tale, as recorded by the chronicler Saxo in the 12th century, may be a reflection of tales about Thorgerd (Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr), a Norse deity. Belawadi Mallamma, to defend her husband's kingdom, she fought against the Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj.
