"Why?" Hestia couldn't understand, or perhaps she was unwilling to understand.
"The reason is simple, Ares is Hera's dearest younger son, the mighty god of war. If he were to possess the authority of victory, along with his mother's indulgence, it's hard to guarantee he wouldn't repeat the old story of the Divine King's family. Kronos, as well as Zeus himself, both ascended to power in this way. Therefore, the divine authority of war must be divided."
Athena is different, though. She's alone, without a family. Even if she's powerful, she can't garner the support of most of the chief gods of Olympus. At the very least, she definitely can't get past Hera and Ares,"
And in an environment surrounded by formidable enemies, she is destined to obediently rely on Zeus and become a tool for this Father God to divide Olympus."
