Information About

Athena (song)




Pete Townshend wrote this song after an encounter with actress Theresa Russell . He promptly fell in love with her, and his frustration of being rejected is contained in this song. While the subject of the song is now widely known, Townshend initially changed the title to "Athena" to disguise who the song was really about.
