"Power is good. I like power."

—Paige as the Goddess of War

The Goddess of War is a title originally held by Athena in ancient Greece. She wielded a powerful trident capable of shooting lightning.

History

In 2003, the Charmed Ones were turned into Greek goddesses to stop the unleashed Titans. Paige Matthews was turned into the Goddess of War, Phoebe was turned into the Goddess of Love and Piper was turned into the Goddess of Earth. Paige's first act was to try recruiting an army of demons to worship her and fight the Titans with. However, Piper quickly snapped her to her senses.

Leo Wyatt later told Paige that he had turned her into a Warrior goddess because she constantly sought to become a more powerful witch, without letting the power consume her. Paige gave up her powers after the Titans were vanquished. Although she seemed to enjoy being a goddess at first, by the end she gladly relinquished her powers when Leo called them back.

Notes and Trivia

• Although being a Goddess of War and based on the mythologial Athena, Paige also shared similarities with other gods. She wielded a trident like Poseidon and could shoot lightning, which is commonly associated with Zeus.
• Aside from active powers, Paige was also granted tactical knowledge about warfare when she became the goddess. According to her, that included "every battle plan from any battle even been fought".
