I believe the answer is:

athene

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'goddess?' is the definition.
(Greek goddess)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for athene that I've seen before include "One inclined towards socialism or communism" , "deity" , "Wise woman" , "Minerva was Roman counterpart of this goddess" , "Pallas -, Greek goddess of wisdom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
