I use the name Athena because she is the goddess who taught men to govern themselves. I think Greek mythology has much to teach us about being human and democracy. I am obsessed about defending the democracy we inherited and the Enlightenment dream of human dignity and honor built on Greek mythology and philosophy, against the Military Industrial Complex.
