Robert Greene frames Athena—goddess of rationality—as standing for the single greatest gift the gods ever gave mortals: the ability to act with divine wisdom.

It implies that unchecked emotion, impulse, or ignorance is what makes humans mortal, while rationality alone makes a person godlike in their conduct.
