Minerva was the Roman goddess equivalent to Athena. She was the inventor of music, goddess of warriors, wisdom, and medicine. She was seen as an owl, which makes sense when you think about the fact that an owl is known for wisdom. She was never "in a relationship" with any of the other gods. In fact she was known for being completely absorbed in her knowledge, which is why people called her a "virgin goddess". Many cult-like groups followed her, and she has many monuments to her around the world. She had altars, and was a popular goddess for prayers. She was truly an inspiration to many people.
