Answer: If I could introduce a new character into the Greek myths, I would choose a goddess of technology named Tekna. She would be the daughter of Hephaestus, the god of fire and crafts, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. She would be skilled in inventing and using various devices, such as automatons, flying machines, and weapons. She would also be curious and adventurous, always seeking new knowledge and challenges.
Explanation: Here is a brief play that shows how Tekna would meet the other gods on Mt. Olympus:
Scene: The throne room of Zeus on Mt. Olympus. Zeus is sitting on his throne, surrounded by other gods and goddesses.
Zeus: Welcome, my fellow Olympians, to our monthly assembly. We have many matters to discuss today, such as the fate of Troy, the worship of mortals, and the latest exploits of our children. But first, I have a surprise for you all. I have invited a new guest to join us today. She is a young goddess who has recently revealed herself to me. She is the daughter of Hephaestus and Athena, and she is the goddess of technology. Her name is Tekna.
The gods murmur among themselves. Some are curious, some are skeptical, some are indifferent.
Hera: Another daughter of Zeus? How many more illegitimate children do you have?
Zeus: No, no, Hera. She is not my daughter. She is the daughter of Hephaestus and Athena. They conceived her long ago, but kept her hidden from us until now.
Hera: Hidden? Why?
Zeus: Because they feared that I would be jealous of her talents and abilities. You see, Tekna is not an ordinary goddess. She has inherited the best qualities of her parents: the craftsmanship of Hephaestus and the wisdom of Athena. She can create and use any kind of device imaginable. She can fly across the sky in a chariot powered by fire. She can control metal and electricity with her mind. She can even communicate with mortals through a device called a phone.
The gods gasp in astonishment.
Apollo: A phone? What is that?
Zeus: It is a device that allows mortals to talk to each other over long distances. Tekna invented it for them.
Apollo: But that is my domain! I am the god of communication!
Zeus: Don’t worry, Apollo. You still have your lyre and your poetry.
Ares: And what about me? She can control metal and electricity? That sounds like war!
Zeus: Calm down, Ares. She is not a warmonger like you. She uses her powers for good purposes.
Ares: Good purposes? Like what?
Zeus: Like helping mortals advance their civilization. Like protecting them from monsters and tyrants. Like exploring new lands and realms.
Ares: Bah! That sounds boring!
Aphrodite: And what about me? Is she beautiful?
Zeus: Of course she is beautiful! She is a goddess after all!
Aphrodite: But is she more beautiful than me?
Zeus: Well…
Aphrodite: Well?
Zeus: Let’s just say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Aphrodite: Hmph!
A loud noise interrupts their conversation. A metal door opens on the wall behind Zeus’s throne, and Tekna emerges from it. She is wearing a helmet with goggles, a leather jacket with wires, and boots with rockets. She is holding a metal staff with a glowing orb on top.
Tekna: Greetings, mighty Zeus! And greetings to all you other gods and goddesses! I am Tekna, the goddess of technology! And this is my portal!
She points to the metal door behind her.
Tekna: It allows me to travel between different places in an instant! Cool, huh?
The gods stare at her in awe and confusion.
Zeus: Welcome, Tekna! We are honored by your presence!
Tekna: Thank you, Zeus! You are very kind!
Zeus: Please, come closer and join us!
