Part of a small series of caches pertaining to Greek Mythology. I hope you enjoy learning about these times as much as I do!

At no time will you have to cross a fence.


Congrats to Cx4 for the nighttime FTF!
Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother's robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius.

Athena and her uncle Poseidon were both very fond of a certain city in Greece. Both of them claimed the city and it was decided that the one that could give the finest gift should have it. Leading a procession of citizens, the two gods mounted the Acropolis. Poseidon struck the side of the cliff with his trident and a spring welled up. The people marveled, but the water was as salty as Poseidon's sea and it was not very useful. Athena's gift was an olive tree, which was better because it gave the people food, oil and wood. Athena named her city Athens.

Athena's companion was the goddess of victory, Nike, and her usual attribute is the owl. Athena possessed the Aegis.

#7945 It is amazing to me to see all the plastic containers out here that have survived so long. A few had narrow necks that I didn't care for too much but now that I have found them, it really doesn't matter anymore. Logged with GCDroid. 12/24/18. 9:19 AM

Once we learned about the Hidden Creature Challenge we knew we would have to travel in order to complete the challenge. We simply did not have one hundred caches within 40 miles to be able to log. Since we had not been in the Pueblo area for years we decided to cache our way to and then in the area.

Our second day of caching in and around the Pueblo area before heading home, included more maintenance on 10 more caches. We replaced caches, logs and containers on ignored caches by the owners. We had completed the Hidden Creature Challenge yesterday but enjoyed the new area while adding to our numbers. SL,TFTC


Thank you TotallyAwesomeSocks for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Nice but it's not a pill bottle. Not sure if moisture will get in it. The log is fine.
