Athena is the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, strategy, art, and war. She is also known as the patroness of the city of Athens, and the Parthenon on the Acropolis is dedicated to her.
Athena was born to Zeus when he was suffering from a terrible headache. Hephaestus struck him with an axe and from his head sprang Athena, fully grown and armed.
It symbolizes wisdom, strategic thinking, martial arts, but also crafts and arts.
She is known for her help to heroes such as Odysseus and Perseus, but also for her contribution to the development of the arts and agriculture. She is closely associated with the olive tree and the owl, which are her symbols.
