Talk:Onga

Source for Onga as Athena

This entry has read "Onga is the Phoenician for Athena. See Athena." This naive one-for-one misconnection is now all over the Internet. Perhaps from here? It is not easy to see what this could have been built upon, acting in good faith. Onca is an obscure epithet of Athena, used in Boeotia. --Wetman 18:44, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Apparently this goes back a long way before Wikipedia:

At Thebes she was worshipped as Athena Onka or Onga, of equally uncertain derivation (possibly from ὄγκος, “a height”).
