Thanks to George Canonis for his major work in proofreading. "Ύμνος εις την Αθηνά" by Κωστής Παλαμάς is a lyrical poem written in the late 19th century. The poem is a tribute to Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, and it expresses admiration for the city of Athens, which is portrayed as a divine city linked to cultural and intellectual grandeur. Through evocative imagery and rich symbolism, the text reflects themes of patriotism, reverence for the divine, and the human experience in relation to the ideals represented by Athena. The opening portion of the poem introduces Athena and captures her essence and significance to the city of Athens. It begins with praises for the goddess, likening her to a beacon of purity, wisdom, and victory. The poet reflects on Athens as a sacred place shaped by divine influence, rich with historical references and the beauty of its landscapes. As he describes the goddess's birth and her role in protecting the city, he interweaves personal feelings and collective pride, implying that the virtues of Athena resonate deeply within the hearts of Athenians and highlight their enduring spirit and connection to their homeland.
