I thought "Beyoncé" was either a word or a classical allusion I did not know. Just great. We're gone from classical allusions being a common language to a pop singer's name used to explain a classical allusion.

So if "Beyoncé" is Medusa, who is Athena?

I guess he alludes to Beyonce’ in the current culture sense.

I don’t really get it either.

Athena:

She is a fierce and ruthless battle goddess. She is warlike only to defend her state from outside enemies.

Zeus’s favorite child.

Modern Athena? Palin or Coulter. I cannot decide.
