Lashunta Inspirational Memory
Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 – 1669. Yeah, that Rembrandt!)

Another Pallas Athena depiction, who is one of the few noble warrior-woman archetypes existing from Western Antiquity among a bunch of patriarchs. Come to think of it, for much of that time, specifically when Dark Age and Medieval Christianity dominated, even she was out of favor. It took a newfound fascination with Pagan Antiquity (the Renaissance) to bring her out of the catacombs.

Much has been made about Athena's rivalry with Ares, the titulary god of war, defining her as more of a protector than a reaver (though that may sometimes be a slight distinction in Greek Myth). This has led to some speculative juxtapostions relative to male vs female virtues in war.

For me, it is much simpler. Athena as the Warrior-Maiden is the perfect archetype for the Lashunta Damaya Outider.
