Athena

Athena, also known as Pallas, is an ancient Greek goddess embodying wisdom, warfare, and crafts, later linked to the Roman Minerva. She was a patron deity for several Greek cities, most notably Athens, which likely derives its name from her. The Parthenon in Athens is dedicated to Athena. Symbols commonly associated with her include owls, olive trees, snakes, and the gorgoneion. Artistically, she's typically shown with a helmet and spear.
