Apollo concedes to fate; Athene refuses to surrender.
Apollo is different from Athene in The Iliad of Homer because Apollo concedes to fate; Athene refuses to surrender. Apollo was an oracular god, so he believes in fate, while Athene, the pride goddess of war, refuses to surrender. Apollo had different connotations, as he was the god of music, truth, and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, etc. Athena was the goddess of wisdom, handicraft, and warfare.
