The Birth Of Athene 

According to the Pelasgians, the goddess Athene was born beside Lake Tritonis in Libya, where she was found and nurtured by the three nymphs of Libya, who dress in goat-skins. As a girl she killed her playmate, Pallas, by accident, while they were engaged in friendly combat with spear and shield and, in token of grief, set Pallas’ name before her own. Coming to Greece by way of Crete, she lived first in the city of Athenae by the Boeotian river Triton.

I want this to be a thing again. I want this to become tradition if a girl is into another girl, I want all lesbians and bisexual girls to know this sign. I want to give violets to any future girl that I’m interested in.
