FUNNY GOD Page 18 …job is done. For now. But then, Perseus is in pursuit of the Gorgon, so this represents an opportunity for Athena. Having painted the poor Medusa as slut and whore, this symbol of holy womanhood, Athena, has little trouble going beyond that in assisting in her death. As is her wont with patriarchal warriors, Athena advises Perseus. First she helps him get the necessary weapons to kill a Gorgon. In the next chapter, we see how Athena and the patriarchal gods manipulate the young hero, like elders do of youth in patriarchal societies everywhere, into the adoption of their wishes, not his. They ply him with rewards, initiate him into “secret knowledge,” and imprint upon his mind the mores, morals, and a manner of being conducive to their peace of mind, not his. The warrior way is hammered upon the tender psyche of youth in boot camps and initiation rituals of all varieties; Perseus fares little better in his mythological one.

Thus, she is the post-paleolithic cultured and masculinized version of the goddess, supporter of the hierarchy and its elitism, kind of a Greek Ayn Rand. It is no wonder this remaining element of the old ways and the old goddess, Medusa, is despised by her and that she will do all she can to first humiliate and stymie her and later kill her. “Crime” and Punishment At any rate, these ancient gods being no less vengeful than their later counterparts in the Inquisition or of puritanical lore, the weight of heaven is brought down on Medusa for such an offense — sex in a temple, oh my. Athena, the virgin Athena, the symbol of civilization, hierarchy, and feminine obedience, like some Muslim aunt or mother bringing genital mutilation — a clitoridectomy — to her daughter or niece, changes Medusa’s beautiful hair to horrid snakes. This will put an end to her dallying, no doubt, for men will henceforth be terrified at her sight. Indeed, the rumor is spread that just gazing upon her hideousness will turn you to stone or make you go mad. With Medusa deformed and defamed this way, the self-righteous Athena’s… THE WAY OF PERSEUS, PATRIARCHY, AND SOLAR THEOLOGIES Page 17

THE WAY OF PERSEUS, PATRIARCHY, AND SOLAR THEOLOGIES Page 17 …children, seen but not heard. She is the patriarchal anima representing consciousness and cosmic knowledge of the cerebral kind, not the experiential variety. She would be a supporter of Greek philosophers and modern day Ego psychologists and would put up her nose at shamans and psychedelic experience. She is Ken Wilber in a dress. It is this feminine representation that is at odds with, alarmed and offended by the more natural, more sensuous, and more “down to ocean” Medusa. It is she who is the goddess, the ally, and the cheerleader for Perseus. She is the feminine hand of the patriarchy and, like some kind of archaic Margaret Thatcher, participates in its endeavors and atrocities. She represents power and the rightness of it. She is called independent, clever, and tough, displaying again the masculinity that the patriarchy wants to propagandize with her. She is the opposite of the Earth, the opposite of Gaia; she is womanhood as fantasized by men, sans Nature and all its “irrationality,” intense and unexpected pleasures, bloody and sweaty biology, and exquisite love and belongingness. She is said to be antithetical to Athena Polias, who represents goddess, Earth, and serenity. Thus, she is the post-paleolithic cultured and masculinized version of the goddess, supporter of the hierarchy and its elitism, kind of a Greek Ayn Rand.

Notice that while being the obvious champion of Perseus, she is also the helper of Heracles — the paragon of masculinity who slays Hydra heads and chthonic “monsters” and is a champion of the Olympian order and thus society’s class structure, its hierarchical arrangement. Academics would be alarmed and angered to hear Athena depicted this way, for she is also the feminine backdrop of their aspirations and represents education, wisdom, learning, intelligence, knowledge, creativity, eloquence, truth, justice (and the American way!). Arts and crafts and skill are listed in her column. She is the representative of the presumptions of civilization with its rationality telling it that it can engage in war and killing and do it “thoughtfully” and “righteously.” She is the balmy winds blowing for just warfare (as from afar, note that, as it corresponds to her advice to Perseus) and is contrasted with the chaotic, gruesome, bloody, blinding, and darkened engagement in it, which is represented by the masculine god, Ares (Mars in Roman myth). Being properly womanly, in a patriarchal sense, she represents humility, too. Women must be self-effacing you see, and like… FUNNY GOD Page 16

FUNNY GOD Page 16 …birth, the forest … and the wild, spontaneous, uncertain, irrational, intuitive, and unpredictable. Athena, however, is said to represent the city, purity, sanitized civilization, “righteous” warfare (George W. would have loved her). She is called “Athena of the city” and “Athena the virgin.” She is a conservative wet dream. She is woman on a pedestal and all that men would want of women is put upon her. She is the female embodiment of the presumptuousness and vanities of the patriarchy and is said to represent the city, the civilized, law and justice, strength, mathematics, culture. She is the perfect cheerleader, patron goddess of heroes and applauder of their exploits. She is the companion of heroes providing shrewd and strategic advice, glorifying and enabling strength. She leads battles and is the warrior maiden, but she does it in a strategic and disciplined way; thus she represents the rationalization of violence and war. Southern gentlemen fight each other over the honor of their women with Athena’s blood pumping in them. Yes, she is the goddess of the old-fashioned, murderous hero, lover of cowboy movies, with a portrait of John Wayne installed in her multi room gallery featuring dead heroes.

Athena Then, worst of all, Medusa commits this grievous sexual act smack in the middle of a bastion of Stepford wifery, puritanical fantasy, and arrogant airs of civilization — a temple of Athena. How disgraceful. It would be equivalent to a beautiful young woman cavorting with some hippie or gypsy dude in the bed of her sainted grandmother. Athena is a symbol of morality and civilization and never, in any Greek tale, has a lover or marries. So she represents moralistic (called “holy”) virginal womanhood. Athena is a patriarchal fantasy of the feminine — propaganda brought to bear in ancient times to keep women in line and faithful and adoring of their men. She is the opposite of the kind of goddess depicted in pre-archaic times and those associated with natural, indigenous, and especially gatherer-hunter societies and cultures. Those goddesses represent Nature, the processes of sex, death, and… THE WAY OF PERSEUS, PATRIARCHY, AND SOLAR THEOLOGIES Page 15
