The most famous "daughter of Athena" is Annabeth Chase from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, a brilliant demigod, architect, and strategist, daughter of the Greek goddess Athena and a mortal father. In classical Greek mythology, Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, famously had no biological children but adopted Erichthonius.
Annabeth Chase is the demigod daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and much like her mother, she is exceptionally intelligent. Annabeth loves talking about philosophy and pondering architecture and design. But she's not just smart in a bookish way—Annabeth is also courageous, spirited, and strong.
After birth Gaia handed over the baby to Athena, and Athena is known as Erichthonius' Mother. Athena was also the Mother-protector of Athens, so Erichthonius became an earliest king of Athens. Athens, protected by its goddess mother, became the strongest of the cities of the ancient world.
Annabeth Chase is the Greek demigod daughter of Athena and Professor Frederick Chase, the half-sister of Bobby and Matthew Chase, and the paternal cousin of Norse demigod Magnus Chase.
Zeus was having an affair with Metis, goddess of cunning, but learned that her son would overthrow him. So he swallowed Metis whole. Inside Zeus, she gave birth to Athena and even equipped her with arms and armor. Zeus seems to have been a roomy fellow, but even he could not accommodate this without distress.
The most prominent "four virgin goddesses" often refer to the Greek trio Artemis, Athena, and Hestia, known for their perpetual virginity and independence, with the fourth often being a more peripheral figure like Astraea, or sometimes a specific invocation like Diana (Roman equivalent) or Gefjon (Norse), though the core group is usually the three Olympians. They embody different aspects of feminine power, from the hunt (Artemis) and wisdom (Athena) to the hearth (Hestia).
Ganymede, a beautiful Trojan young man, was aducted by Zeus to serve as his personal cupbearer and lover on mount Olympus among the other gods.
Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson universe features prominent LGBTQ+ characters, most notably Nico di Angelo (gay) and Will Solace (bisexual), who become central to the series and star in their own book, The Sun and the Star, with other queer characters appearing across series like Alex Fierro (genderfluid) in Magnus Chase and bisexual Apollo, highlighting expanding diversity within the Riordanverse.
Rick Riordan said if two demigods have a child, the child would be mortal. This makes no sense when you consider the fact that if two 1/2 black 1/2 white people have a child, the child would most likely also be 1/2 black 1/2 white.
Estelle Blofis is the daughter of Paul Blofis and Sally Jackson, and is the younger half-sister of Percy Jackson.
Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. He was disliked by both parents. He is the god of war. He is considered murderous and bloodstained but, also a coward.
Yes, many Greek gods had male lovers, with the norm being bisexuality, though figures like Zeus (with Ganymede), Apollo (with Hyacinthus), Hermes, Dionysus, and the hero Heracles are famous examples, often involved in pederastic relationships or deep bonds that modern interpretation calls homosexual or bisexual. While gods like Ares, Hades, and Hephaestus had fewer or no male lovers, same-sex relationships were common across the pantheon, with Zeus often cited as the prime example of a powerful god with male paramours.
Athena has lived with her best friend Pallas' family since she was a baby, never knowing her true parentage.
Clarisse La Rue from the Percy Jackson series had a crush on Chris Rodriguez, another demigod at Camp Half-Blood; she showed deep feelings for him, especially after he went mad in the Labyrinth, and they eventually became a couple, notes Fandom and Disney Wiki.
The Parthenon at Athens was her most famous shrine. She never had a true lover. For some strange reason it was hopeless that she would fall in love; Hephaestus tried once, yet failed. Athena was well known for giving advice/mentoring heroes.
Books Annabeth is a month older than Percy. She is 16-17 at the start but Percy doesn't turn 17 until the Son of Neptune.
While Jesus does have a human mother, Mary, and His divine nature is from God the Father, using the term "demigod" to describe Jesus is not accurate from a biblical perspective. In Christian theology, Jesus is fully God and fully human, not a combination or mixture of the two natures.
Medusa had two children with Poseidon, Chrysaor, who was born from her neck, and another child, Pegasus. At first, these two children were trapped inside her after she was turned into a monster but were later born from her blood when Perseus beheaded her while the Gorgon was asleep.

Bluey introduced LGBTQ+ representation through the character Pretzel, a friend of Bluey's, who mentions having two mothers in the Season 3 finale, "The Sign," marking the first confirmed same-sex couple in the series.
