Name Origin
Minerva was a Roman goddess of crafts, poetry and wisdom, and is known as the inventor of music". "The name "Minerva" is likely imported from the Etruscans who called her Menrva. The Romans would have easily confused her foreign name with their word mens meaning "mind" since one of her aspects as goddess pertained not only to war but also to the intellectual. Minerva was the daughter of Jupiter. She was considered to be the virgin goddess of warriors, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, crafts, and the inventor of music. As Minerva Medica, she was the goddess of medicine and doctors. As Minerva Achaea, she was worshipped at Luceria in Apulia where the donaria and the arms of Diomedes were preserved in her temple. Adapting Greek myths about Athena, Romans said that Minerva was not born in the usual way, but rather she sprang from the mind of Jove; Vulcan opened up his head and out came Minerva, fully grown, and dressed in armor, a long trailing robe, a helmet, a shield and a spear."

Reason to Exist
Everything started in 2001. I was unhappy and bored with the music that arrived at the time by television, radio and magazines, so i transformed myself in a music detective and i started to look for underground grunge, punk, rock bands or artists over the internet. After a while i created the website as a compilation of my research for people who had or have the same need as me! Principal to facilitate the search of the same bands & sounds! Before this creation i remember searching something like Minerva but i never found it, so this is the reason of Minervacorner.com existence! The first address was minerva.com.sapo.pt, after some years i changed to minevacorner.totalh.com, minervacorner.co.cc and finally in 2008 i bought the final address .com
