So does anyone in-universe remember that Apollo met Kirk in the 23rd century and wasn't very nice? And by extension it's possible, even likely, that Athena wasn't very nice either? Why would Starfleet name one of their ships after one of a race of aliens with questionable intentions who was messing around in Earth's ancient history?
Athena was the goddess of wisdom (Not out of place at a school).
Like I said, in the Trek universe they know a lot more about her kind and it would have very different connotations than in our world.
Why assume that all are bad because of one encounter? Athena has been utilized as a name for Wisdom related things for a long time, regardless of Kirk's interactions with a lonely Apollo.
Two, there was also Zeus who was apparently a giant asshole.
Right, thank you.
Except, at the end, Apollo is shown to be wrong:
APOLLO: Zeus, Hermes, Hera, Aphrodite. You were right. Athena, you were right. The time has passed. There is no room for gods. Forgive me, my old friends. Take me. Take me.
And Kirk's musings:
MCCOY: I wish we hadn't had to do this
KIRK: So do I. They gave us so much. The Greek civilisation, much of our culture and philosophy came from a worship of those beings. In a way, they began the Golden Age. Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves
There's no reason to assume that Kirk was judgmental of a whole race because of one being.
Watching it again it sounds like they just made blanket sentences without applying any actual judgement. Either way, she just ends up murdering a bunch of people without trial after going through how unfair the system was before.
This show continues the tradition of redesigning SFA every time we see it. There’s still a couple buildings there were also there in Discovery season 3, but a lot of new stuff too
I think the giant ass tree they showed in Discovery is still there, it’s just surrounded by more trees now

It was self defence, not murder.
His voiced wasn’t artificially lowered. The actor is talking deeper on his own. According to TrekCulture at least.
Really? Huh. Sounds very artificial to me.
They should have just paid to use the original.
The vocalist They got sounds so maudlin and he ruins the song ...
It's supposed to be an upbeat song, not a dirge.
They didn't 'get' anyone. The version used is a cover by Rufus Wainwright.
The version in SFA does not sound like a dirge lol. It’s not depressing either.
Sounds up beat to me, not as much as the original sure, it’s just slower. But I love it, fits the scene perfectly.
I'd have to watch "Who Mourns for Adonais" again, but other than what "Apollo" claimed, do we even have evidence the other Greek gods even really existed? I'd question how much of Apollo's claims to being the mythological being are even valid at all.
I guess there's Olly as evidence others of Apollo's people existing, but their actual role in Earth's history is pretty vague and I don't think you can assume the canonicity of say, The Iliad.
