Athena to the Greeks, or Minerva to the Romans, was the daughter of Zeus and a model heroine. She was known for her intelligence as well as her skill in battle, and her spirit was said to be indomitable. Bonnie shares her courage as well as her natural talents. The ire she earns from Maddie is reminiscent of the bitterness born by Hera for the grey-eyed goddess (as Athena was sometimes known).
