In response to Newton's invocation of Athena, it should be noted that
Babeestor Gor is a very different goddess from Athena {who if she existed
would be to Orlanth as the Conquering Daughter is to the Red Goddess}.
Also, the closest parallel to Mars is ZZ, not Humakht or Orlanth. Orlanth
corresponds most closely to Zeus, indeed this correspondence between Greek
Myth and Glorontha is the only one I would consider defending.
If one is to argue from analogy, the similarites should be strong enough to
be useful. Athena vs Zeus is as I recall a far more even match than Athena
vs Mars; the advantage I think actually going to Zeus.
