I do not know where the poem is, but here are some facts about Athena:
Athena was the Goddess of War, the female counterpart of ARES.
She was the daughter of Zeus; no mother bore her. She sprang from Zeus’s head, full-grown and clothed in armor.
She was Zeus’s favorite child.
According to Homer’s account in the Iliad, Athena was a fierce and ruthless warrior. In the Odyssey, she was angry and unforgiving. In the course of the Trojan War, she struck Ajax with madness.
Known for protecting civilized life, she was the Goddess of the City.
According to some sources, Athena was praised for her compassion and generosity.
Athena was a patron of the arts and crafts, especially when it came to spinning and weaving.
In later poetry, Athena embodied wisdom and rational thought.
Athena served as a guardian of Athens, where the Parthenon served as her temple.
Zeus trusted her to wield the aegis and his thunderbolt.
Her most important festival was the Panathenaea, which was celebrated annually at Athens.
She is referred to in poetry as “gray-eyed.”
The owl was her bird, and the olive tree was hers.
She turned the weaver ARACHNE into a spider after the mortal woman insulted Athena and the Olympian gods.
Athena reared Ericthonius, son of HEPHAESTUS. He was half man, half serpent. Athena put the infant in a chest and gave it to others to watch over, forbidding them to open it. When they did, she drove them mad as punishment.
She is one of three virgin goddesses; the other two were HESTIA and ARTEMIS.
Athena invented the flute, but she never played it.
Hermes and Athena went to the aid of PERSEUS IN HIS QUEST TO KILL MEDUSA. Looking directly at MEDUSA would turn any man to stone, so Athena provided PERSEUS with her polished shield. Using it, he was able to see Medusa as if looking in a mirror. Again, Athena guided his hand as he cut off Medusa’s head with his sword.
HERA and Athena fought against Paris in the Trojan War since he had awarded the Golden Apple to APHRODITE.
The sacred image of Athena, a wood statue called the Palladium, protected the Trojans as long as they had it.
ODYSSEUS and Diomedes executed a plan to steal the image, greatly encouraging the Greeks in their hopes to end the long-suffering war. Athena helped HERCULES when, as a part of his penance, he was required to drive away the Stymphalian birds. She got them moving, and Hercules shot them.
In <em>Odyssey</em>, <u>Athena is intelligent, brave, wise and a master of disguises</u>. Moreover, <u>she is a protective goddess</u>. She constantly supports Odysseus as well as his son Telemachus throughout the poem. Athena is the one that makes Odysseus look like an old beggar when he comes back to Ithaca. She also helps him during his battle with Penelope's suitors. <u>Besides protecting Odysseus and Telemachus</u>,<u> she also serves the purpose of taking the role of adviser.</u> Athena is the one that advises Telemachus to grow up quickly, encourages him to start searching for his father and prepares him to visit Nestor. She also gives Telemachus confidence to fight against the suitors. Therefore, Athena is an essential character in <em>Odyssey.</em>
<span>"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is, in fact, a word. It means sublime, or wonderful.

the third one, if you add the comma without the when then you would have a comma splice (when you put a comma between 2 independent clauses without a conjunction) adding the when before Cynthia makes the first part a dependent variable and makes it okay to add the comma!
