Athena's moral and military superiority to Ares derived in part from the fact that she represented the intellectual and civilized side of war and the virtues of justice and skill, whereas Ares represented mere blood lust. Her superiority also derived in part from the vastly greater variety and importance of her functions and the patriotism of Homer's predecessors, Ares being of foreign origin. In the Iliad, Athena was the divine form of the heroic, martial ideal: she personified excellence in close combat and glory, and was personally attended by <a href="/wiki/Nike_(mythology)" title="Nike (mythology)">Nike</a>, the goddess of victory.

He was an apt scholar and showed striking evidence of ingenuity. While walking on the seashore, he picked up the spine of a fish or a serpent's jaw. Imitating it, he took a piece of iron and notched it on the edge, thus inventing the saw. He made a pair of compasses by putting two pieces of iron together, connecting them at one end with a rivet, and sharpening the other ends. Daedalus was so envious of his nephew's accomplishments that he took an opportunity, when they were together one day on the top of a high tower, to push him off, but Athena, who favors ingenuity, saw him falling and arrested his fate by changing him into a bird called after his name, the <i><a href="/wiki/Perdix" title="Perdix">perdix</a></i> (<a href="/wiki/Partridge" title="Partridge">partridge</a>). This bird does not build its nest in the trees, nor take lofty flights, but nestles in the <a href="/wiki/Hedge" title="Hedge">hedges</a>, and mindful of his fall, avoids high places. For this crime, Daedalus was tried and banished. In some accounts, Athena leaves Daedalus with a scar in the shape of a partridge, to remind him of what he did. </p> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3
