			  Essential Culture

		  A Mythical Guide to Project Athena


Athena: Minerva (Roman).  One of the twelve Olympians; born out of the
head of Zeus.  Goddess of wisdom, skills, warfare.  (Milton uses this
myth to describe the birth of sin from the head of Satan.)

Athena Nike: Famous temple on the Acropolis, dedicated to Athena as
goddess of victory.

Athena Parthenos: The name of the ivory-and-gold statue by Phidias,
once in the Parthenon.

Athens: The city of Athena; capital of modern Greece.  The center of
ancient Greek culture, but not so important a place as Thebes,
Mycenae, and other cities.

jh (Joseph Harrington):

"And why," some say, "the moon?"
And they may well ask,
"Why climb the highest mountain?"
"Why," thirty-five years ago, "fly the Atlantic?"
"Why does Rice play Texas?!"
We choose to go to the moon!
We choose to go to the moon!
We choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things!
Not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

-JFK

shanzer (Michael S. Shanzer):

"It's 106 million light years to the center of the galaxy, we've got a
 full containment chamber of antimatter, half a bottle of Romulan ale,
 we're in space, and we're wearing sunglasses."

"We're on a mission from God."

                -- Quotes from "Star Trek V: The Blues Brothers Frontier"

I'm glad that Athena won't be getting their cotton-picking fingers on my
