Name this goddess whose gift of an olive tree caused a very important Greek city to be named after her.
This goddess sent Iphigenia (iff-ih-juh-NAI-uh) to Brauron after deciding that Orestes (o-RES-tees) was not guilty. To please Chariclo, this goddess cleaned the ears of Tiresias (tai-REE-see-us), though she had already blinded him for seeing her naked. Because this goddess invented the horse-bit and chariot, her name was sometimes appended with the epithet Hippia. She was the daughter of Metis (MEE-tis), but because her father Zeus swallowed her mother, her birth was from her father's head. Often represented by owls, she carried a shield bearing Medusa's head called the Aegis. Name this goddess whose gift of an olive tree caused a very important Greek city to be named after her.
