Athenian (also known as Athenic or Minervan) is a term referring to someone who does not experience at least one type of attraction. It includes Individuals on the asexual spectrum, aromantic spectrum, aplatonic spectrum, asensual spectrum, nonaesthetic spectrum, and any other lack of attraction spectrum. It is based on terms like achillean and sapphic.
History
Athenian/Minervan was coined by Tumblr user Disney-swiftie on September 7th, 2020.[1] The terms was named after the Greek goddess Athena who is commonly interpreted as asexual and aromantic in modern times and Minervan comes from the name Minerva, Athena's Roman equivalent. Alternate terms were created by Chaoticcylinder on December 10th, 2020 in order to distinguish the term from the word for someone from Athens.
