Wisdom and weapons don't mix.  Fortresses and weapons, sure!  But wisdom is serene, calm, and precise.
The goddess Athena would like a word with you.
There is a Manga out there that has a nice out look on Athena, considering that she was born from the Mind of Zeus, the other gods thought that she must be wise, but all she showed was Pure unhindered strength, every action she would use strength so there came a feeling that all that filled Zeus's head was Combat and Strength, and that he wasn't a Wise God as everyone thought him to be. Thinking on his feet, he turned it all around explaining how Athena used her strength in a wise way showing that there is wisdom to her actions, despite the fact that Zeus was at that time, sweeting bullets...
Zeus pretty much did whatever he wanted (especially with women), but he was still the king of gods so everyone shut up. (Or the ones that didn't got fried with lightning.

Athena is the goddess of defensive warfare. She encouraged the use of strength and skill in times of war for defensive or just purposes (Lawful Good). She wasn't a goddess of "pure unhindered strength", that would be Ares and his might makes right philosophy.
This was the joke. If Athena, born from the Head of Zeus and had the same mentality of Ares, just innocent stupid. (This is the Manga's Joke)
