    		Athene (also spelled Athena) is the patron of wisdom, military victory, and women's crafts. She is also known as Tritogeneia and Minerva (Roman) and is also called Pallas Athene. Her attributes in iconography include the aegis (a fringed cloak, sometimes decorated with a Gorgon's head), the helmet, and the spear.

    		It was Pallas.
    You see when they were young (not as children) they used to be best friends. They learn how to fight with each other and do almost everything with each other.
    Then when they were practising their fighting skills, Athena accidentally wounded her and caused her friend, Pallas death. Then she renamed herself as Pallas Athena
