"We respect Minerva. She's the goddess of crafts and wisdom. . . but she isn't really a goddess of war. Not for Romans. She's also a maiden goddess, like Diana . . . the one you call Artemis. You won't find any children of Minerva here. The idea that Minerva would have children—frankly, it's a little shocking to us....I understand that you Greeks don't see things the same way, but Romans take vows of maidenhood very seriously. The Vestal Virgins, for example . . . if they broke their vows and fell in love with anyone, they would be buried alive."
