Hello, community!
Today is my first day on the 30 Days #BloggingChallenge Part 01 in #Hive, and I'm very excited about it! Today's post is about explaining my blog's name.
Oh, nobility! Oh, simple and true beauty! Oh goddess, whose worship means reason and judgment; you, whose temple is an eternal altar of conscience!. - Ernest Renan.
«paolasatenea»
My blog's name is «paolasatenea», and it comes from the combination of my name, Paola, and the name of the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, handicraft, and warfare, Athena («Atenea» in spanish).
This nickname comes from a cute play on words that I came up with at collage, where my friends called my «Atenea», because I was -and still am-, such a nerdy person when it comes to theater history and plays from the ancient Geece period, and, one day in class, the idea just hit me: What if I use my name as a substitution to the goddess epithet «Pallas»?, and I called my self «Paolas Atenea» that day in class, and everyone laughed, including the professor. It was fun.
I decided to use this nickname in several of my social media, including Hive Blog and Instagram.
Additionally to this I must say that, sometimes, I identify myself with this Greek goddess, because she embodies wisdom, judgment and strategic action in war, and for me those are precious skills in a person.
That's the little anecdote that I wanted to share with you on this entry about my blog's name.
I invite @canitas and @nel.alex to do this challenge.
