"Just what I thought, You're not even good as food!" She thinks to herself after swallowing her first victim...
"You're all so useless, you can't even satisfy me! So stop screaming and try to be useful for once! I don't know why I'm still keeping you alive! All you do is cry for mercy and act like little bitches! You're all so ridiculous! You're slaves! You have no rights here!
You're not worth the trouble, I'll just get rid of you properly! I know just the right punishment for worthless, little women like you!"
It was clear that Athena was getting angry at them, which would explain her next actions... To her, small humans aren't worthy! They should be but in their place! They are fragile creatures, so they should do whatever they can to survive! (Like pleasing a giant goddess!) But if they can't even do that, then they must be punished!
