"Somebody's shouting ... up at a mountain .. Only my own words return. Nobody's up there, it's a DECEPTION .. When will I ever learn? I'm alone here .. With emptiness, eagles and snow .. Unfriendliness chilling my body ..." Actually, a telephoto from the Sugarloaf Trail caused me to "chill out" long enough to catch a glimpse of Sedona's majestic Parthenon (6,748'). [The name is derived from the original Parthenon (Greek: Παρθενών) ... a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their virgin patron.] Here, the Parthenon wears a thin white veil fit for an unearthly goddess.

I think

it is quite interesting that the goddess of wisdom and learning remained a virgin, and thus left no offspring (in great contrast to most other Greek gods).

Re: I think

Ejnar, the people of Athens CONSIDERED her to be a virgin ...
