Athena – The Mother of The Beloved Little Mermaid

Today we’re talking about the beloved mother of Ariel and her six older sisters, Queen Athena. Unfortunately, Queen Athena is no longer with us as she had a tragic death due to a run-in with a big pirate ship when Ariel was very young. This event left King Triton widowed and fuelled his hatred of humans.

Queen Athena was the ruler of Atlantica alongside her husband King Triton and was an amazing mother to her seven daughters. She was described by those who knew her as a loving and compassionate queen, who cared for her people deeply and worked hard to ensure their safety.

Though she is no longer with us, Queen Athena is still mentioned from time to time in the series and has become something of an iconic figure in the world of Disney princesses. In one episode, Ariel even comes across Hans Christian Andersen, author of “The Little Mermaid” while he was traveling underwater in a primitive submarine.

Though we never got to meet Queen Athena in person, she will alwys live on through the memories that her family and friends have of her. May she rest in peace knowing that she left behind a legacy of love and kindness that will be remembered forever.
