"I begin to sing of Pallas Athene, defender of cities, Awesome Goddess, She and Ares care for deeds of war, cities being sacked and cries of battle. She protects an army going to war and returning. Hail O Goddess, and give us good fortune and happiness!" -Hesiod, The Homeric Hymns and Homerica, Hymn 28

ACHELOUS •
Achelous was a river and, at the same time,the god of that river, which was one of the longest and most voluminous in Greece. While on the one hand associated with a specific river, this god could be invoked when making reference to rivers (and their gods) in general. In other words, he could be invoked as the god of all rivers. According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Achelous, along with a host of other rivers, was a child of the elemental Titan gods Oceanus and Tethys. His own children included the lovely voiced but monstrous Sirens as well as a number of Nymphs who were said to draw their water from him. These included Castalia, spirit of the Castalian Spring near Delphi, a fount sacred to the Muses; and Pirene, spirit of the Corinthian spring Pirene, whose waters Pegasus caused to burst from the earth when he struck it with his hoof. Achelous is perhaps best known for his involvement with the hero Hercules, who wrestled with him for the hand of Deianeira,daughter of Oeneus, king of Calydon
