Company Lore: The name Athenia is derived from the name of the Goddess Athena. Sprung from the forehead of the chief god Zeus, Athena was known for her strength and wisdom.
Devoted to crafts, Athena was proud of her skill at weaving, and so took umbrage when challenged to a weaving contest by the mortal Arachne.
To add insult to injury, Arachne won the resulting contest.
Hoist on her own petard, Arachne was transformed by Athena into the prototypical spider: a supremely ugly but talented weaver.
At Athenia Associates we aspire to excellence but hope that, in weaving our webs, we do not anger our namesake.
