The complete name of the other Athena is Hutu Athena and she is no Lessor Athena, for she was entrusted to bear all elements. One of the Gods that takes command from her is Aquarius (Water Bearer). The birth of Hutu Athena is shrouded in confusion as it is attributed to Eris, the Goddess of Discord, throwing a golden apple into an Olympian banquet. Her birth is confused with Greek, Roman, and other myths, arising from the time when there were only three Goddesses left on Olympus to possess the golden apple: Hera or Juno, Aphrodite or Venus and Pallas Athena or Minerva.

When the Angel of Death and his Passover ensemble were instructed to strike Athena, all he said was, Hutu Athena?This was the exact moment that Hutu Athena was born.

Another perspective:

All of the Greek gods had a number of epithets, either from specific events, or from the collusion of Classical Greek myths with older, or sometimes foreign myths. Hutu Athenais seldom mentioned in either oral or written myths, since after Athena was struck, it became Akhena. Hutu Athena and the myth of the Golden Apple of Discord predates Christianity by about 1500 years.

Athena's most common epithet was Pallas Athena, a name shrouded in mystery. Pallas Athena was an ancient concept, and by some accounts, the personification of Dullness. Athena defeated her in battle (i.e. the triumph of reason and intellect over superstition and ignorance), and took Pallas' name for herself, which was a common practice in ancient times.

Another common epithet, and possibly the other Athena, was Athena Parthenos, which means Virgin Athena. Athena was one of the few Greek gods that never took a consort or lover (human or immortal). The Parthenon in Athens takes its name from this title. In this role, Athena wasn't simply just virginal, but the embodiment of the rules of sexual modesty, particularly for women These rules were rigidly enforced in Greek society. In fact, the Athenians gave a great deal of value to Athena because of this quality.

Other epithets for Athena include:

Athena Tritogenia: This may allude to Athena being the third born child of Zeus.

Athena Areia: An Epithet won by being the judge at the trial of Orestes for the murder of his mother, Clytemnestra.

Athena Ergane: The name given her as the patron of craftsmen and artisans.

Athena Promachos: The name given to Athena when she was in battle.

Athena Hippeia: given to her as the inventor of the chariot - and under an alternative parentage of Poseidon and Polyphe

Hutu Athena was different from Pallas Athenaas her birth is from the clouds in a similar manner as Aphrodite's birth was from the sea. She is the daughter of Hercules but there exists no record indicating her matriarchal linage. She is always depicted as a fat, beautiful woman perpetually holding an alchemy bottle.
