Abstract

This research focuses on the Libyan characteristics in the cult of the virgin warrior goddess Athena, and in an attempt to distinguish this study, we have dealt with a precise and complex aspect that combines linguistics with narrative history. The goddess Athena was one of the most famous goddesses in Greece, and she, under other names, was worshiped in various regions of the Mediterranean basin, including Libya, Egypt, Phoenicia, Syria, Crete, Italy, and etc. In Greek religion, many titles were given to Athena that reflected her nature and religious functions, Among them were titles such as: Pallas or Palladion and Tritonia or Tritogeneia, titles that caused some of controversy among scholars, because of ambiguity of its meaning and origin. In this study We relied on both literary and archaeological sources, and We followed the narrative-analytic Method, and at the same time we discussed the opinions and results that other researchers have reached on the same subject. The study reached a number of results, the most important of which are: that the religious titles mentioned in this research actually had Libyan origins, and that Athena, under her title of Pallas, was originally a Libyan goddess who transferred at some time from North Africa to Greece
