Shining Athena, swift aegis-bearer,
friend of warriors, fair daughter of Zeus.
In bravery, in find hand stitchery,
in knowledge and in understanding,
in crisp, clean thought, in artistry and skill,
in these, your realms, we see your dextrous hand.
Glorious Athena, wisest of gods,
guardian of bold-hearted adventurers,
guide of craftsmen, defender of cities,
we thank you for clear minds and steady hearts,
for just victories and keen-edged swords.
Peerless Athena, we praise and honor you.
