Welcome to Athena Survivors Anthology. This Web anthology is collected from writers who have survived some form of abuse, be it physical, sexual, or emotional. They have come through the flames stronger. Athena is the Goddess of wisdom, useful arts, justice and prudent warfare, thus a fitting patroness for this site.

• To help survivors of abuse realize they are not alone in their experiences.
  
• To help survivors of abuse realize healing is possible.
  
• To share our creativity with others, for greater understanding of issues.
