To whom Perseus gave the head of Medusa (6)

I believe the answer is:

athena

(Other definitions for athena that I've seen before include "Greek goddess of a capital city" , "wise but fierce goddess" , "Greek goddess of wisdom etc." , "One-time goddess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
