Athena

Athena, also known as Pallas, is an ancient Greek goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and handicraft. Syncretized with the Roman goddess Minerva, she was considered the patron and protectress of several Greek cities, most notably Athens, from which her name likely originates. The Parthenon in Athens is dedicated to her. Her symbols include owls, olive trees, snakes, and the Gorgoneion. She is typically depicted in art wearing a helmet and holding a spear, representing her roles in both wisdom and strategic battle.
