Reborn Athena

Alexandra, mother and artist with a rocky marriage, is inducted into a secret society, the CIC, whose members risk torture and death to reveal to Athena truths she was never meant to know: she has a mother. Her name is Metis.

Ancient myth tells how Zeus, King of the Immortal Deities, gave birth to Athena, making her motherless and fiercely loyal. As Goddess of Justice, Athena sets the rules for civilization and order for the human world—always in Zeus’ favor, always favoring men. But what if her life were built on a lie?

 Ancient Goddess of Justice, Reborn in the 21st Century

This New Myth of the Reborn Athena fulfills an ancient Earth Oracle that foretold how the God-King Zeus would be overthrown by his child with Metis.

The Story:

After a long day in the courtroom, Chief Justice Athena returned to her office and found a mysterious manila envelope on her desk.

Inside she discovered evidence of a brutal assault and attempted murder. These old crimes crash-land Athena’s privileged life as favorite among King Zeus’ children.

Athena never even knew she had a mother. Like everyone else, Athena thought she had been born, already full grown, from Zeus’ head.

 To fulfill the Earth Oracle, Athena must come to terms with herself as the daughter of her unknown mother. Metis, her name is Metis. Athena also has to confront her father and take over his throne.

Thus begins Athena’s adventures that lead her on an epic journey … to becoming the Reborn Athena.

Athena’s ancient enmity for Medusa must turn to friendship. How is that possible? Athena turned the beautiful Medusa into a viper-headed monster and wears Medusa’s dead head as a piece of jewelry.

To fulfill the Earth Oracle Athena has to break Zeus’ power over her and put him, King of the Gods, on trial for his crimes. If she fails, criminality will endure as law. If Athena succeeds, an era of new justice dawns.

Reborn Athena is the new Goddess of Justice for the 21st Century.
