If Athena were translated into modern culture, what role might she play? Think about someone in this modern world that acts as a "hidden hero" of sorts in current society.

Aside from the Owl symbol, I'm thinking perhaps Oprah. I realize Oprah Winfrey isn't hidden but her influence often is. Many critics point out that her hidden political and media influence, aside from her show, was a deciding factor in President Obama's successful bid for the White House.
