Neith, Goddess Origin of Athena

I will always be fascinated by the stories of the past and the lore around goddesses.

Neith (also called Ath-neith, Ath-nath, or Asenath hence Athena) was originally an African goddess from Egypt. The worship of Neith was taken to the Greek islands during successive waves of migration of black colonists from the African coasts to Mediterranean islands. These migrations and subsequent contact were very important in helping to establish civilization in ancient Greece. -Herodotus of Halicarnasus (circa 530 BC)
