"Invocation to Athena" - an improvisation for recreated lyre, in the intense ancient Greek Dorian Mode (the equivalent intervals as E-E on the white notes of the piano, this mode was misnamed the 'Phrygian' mode by scholars in the Middle Ages.)

In ancient Greek mythology, Athena was associated with wisdom, strategy in war, crafts & was the patroness of various cities, particularly Athens.

According to myth, she was born from her father Zeus's head after he swallowed her mother, Metis!

Unlike Ares, the god of brute force, Athena represents the strategic and just aspects of warfare, using wisdom to protect the state and its people.
