Moving away from rigid, linear frameworks of "origins" or "authenticity," Forrest Wolfe will treat Greek religion fractally, as an ongoing process of re-routing, remixing, and diasporic entanglement. Using this lens, we can unearth Athena’s paradoxical mysteries: a goddess of reason who operates in shadow, a virgin who sublimates the matriarchal power associated with the Gorgon, and a sanctuary for the displaced whose petrifying, gorgon-like gaze demands a confrontation with our own unseen depths.
