Athena Scorning the Advances of Hephaestus, Paris Bordone, between c. 1555~1560. According to the Bibliotheca, Athena visited the smith-god Hephaestus to request some weapons, but Hephaestus was so overcome by desire that he tried to seduce her in his workshop. Determined to maintain her virginity, Athena fled, pursued by Hephaestus.
At the beginning of the fight, Athena got the upper hand, until Pallas took over. Before she could win, Zeus, who was in attendance, fearing to see his own daughter lose, distracted Pallas with the Aegis, which she had once shown interest in. Pallas, stunned in awe, stood still as Athena, expecting her to dodge, impaled her accidentally.
Athena bears the epithet Tritogeneia (Τριτογένεια) "Triton-born" [42] and while this is suggestive of Triton's daughter being Athena, [43] the appellation is otherwise explainable in several ways, e.g., as Athena's birth (from Zeus's head) taking place at the River Triton or Lake Tritonis. [44] Triton also had a daughter named Triteia.
