Mine is obviously the Goddess herself. After that comes Polyhymnia. Who is yours?

It has to be Minerva who was the Roman goddess of wisdom and sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy.

She was particularly good at weaving. Once a woman called Arachne wove a beautiful picture. Minerva tried to find something wrong with it. When she couldn't, she tore it up and turned Arachne into a spider. The spider still weaves beautiful webs.

Minerva helped the hero Perseus to kill the gorgon Medusa, who was a monster with snakes instead of hair. Anyone who looked at a gorgon turned to stone! But Minerva told Perseus to look at Medusa's reflection in a polished shield. That way he could cut the head off without looking directly at the gorgon. He gave the head to Minerva, who put it on her shield, so it would turn her enemies to stone.

In my youth, I would have said the Green Goddess from Breakfast Time TV, even though she was 40 odd at the time. It was the green leotard that did it....
