According to one myth, the first Athenian citizen was born from
the earth after the sperm of a rejected lover, the god Hephaistos,
dripped off the virgin goddess Athena's leg and onto fertile soil.
Henceforth Athenian citizens could claim to be truly indigenous to
their city and to have divine origins that bypassed maternity. In
these essays, the renowned French Hellenist Nicole Loraux examines
the implication of this and other Greek origin myths as she
explores how Athenians in the fifth century forged and maintained a
collective identity.
