Athena, flint-eyed daughter
Of excellent Zeus,
Clear-headed goddess,
Bold-hearted patron of craft.
Great Athena, passion
guided by forethought,
Kind one who draws near us,
Who flees no battle,
Your favor sought by many,
Your presence so strong,
So penetrating, so unmistakable.
Athena, shining war-maid,
Child of wisdom,
I pray to you.
Precision and unmuddled thought
I ask from you,
Crisp reason and blessed clarity,
Surety and conviction,
Quick wit and quick action,
Give me eyes to see far,
To see true, to see within,
Give me heart to bear it,
Give me strength to hold fast.
