As Elaion's members, we are the soldiers of Pallas Athena, the Daughter of the Great Dias, the Great Godess of the wisdom who is our intermediate and who inspires us to keep in our fight wisdom, patience and a clear conscience of respect, let's pray the Godess Pallas Athena to bless our commitment:
"I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogeneia. From his awful head wise Zeus himself bare her arrayed in warlike arms of flashing gold, and awe seized all the gods as they gazed. But Athena sprang quickly from the immortal head and stood before Zeus who holds the aegis, shaking a sharp spear: great Olympos began to reel horribly at the might of the grey-eyed goddess, and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst forth suddenly: the bright Son of Hyperion [the Sun] stopped his swift-footed horses a long while, until the maiden Pallas Athena had stripped the heavenly armour from her immortal shoulders. And wise Zeus was glad. Hail to you, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis!"
- Homeric Hymn 29 to Athena
Da, Diva, veniam si te non pecudum fibris, non sanguine fuso, quaero nec arcanis numen coniecto sub extis. Dies admoniet et fortisacrificare deae, quod est illa nata Minerva die. Pallada nunc oremus. Qui bene placavit Pallada, doctus erit. Nec quisquam invita Palladefaciet bene licet antiquo manibus conlatus Epeo sit prior, irata Pallade mancus erit. Vos quoque, Phoeba morbos qui pellitis arte, munera de vestris pauca referte deae. Nec vos, turba fere censu fraudante, magistri, spernite; discipulos attrahit illa novos. Mille dea est operum. Si mereramus, studiis adsit amica nostris. Domina haec domii sodalitatisque patrona, te hoc sacrificio obmovendo precamus uti sies volens propitius nobis domi familiaeque nostris; harumce rerum ergo, macte hoc sacrificio. Sulis Minerva Belisama, Medica, Sollertissima, Pallas, Athena, Propugnatrix, sive quo alio nomine appelari volveris, aegida semper super nos extende.
- Prayer to Minerva, N. Moravius Vado
