Minerva

This is a statue of Minerva.

Then, indeed, Hector knew that Minerva had deceived him, and that he stood there godforsaken, a doomed man.

In many works of this ſpecies, the hero is allowed to be mortal, and to become wiſe and virtuous as well as happy, by a train of events and circumſtances. The heroines, on the contrary, are to be born immaculate; and to act like goddeſſes of wiſdom, juſt come forth highly finiſhed Minervas from the head of Jove.
