Planet lists and empirical astronomy came relatively late (as we should expect, since there WERE no planets moving on predictable orbits when the myths were born), and the fact is that most ... ). He says nothing about Athene. In one paragraph, Fitton has combined several erroneous statements with some highly dubious reasoning. There is no one who has examined the astronomical associations of Venus with a more discerning eye than Ev Cochrane, publisher of the journal AEON.
