Athena, the goddess of war, strategy and wisdom, was born, fully grown, from Zeus’ forehead.  An urban goddess, guardian of Athens and Greece, who fought alongside Greek heroes, with great military prowess.  Athena embodied the virtues of justice, morality, skill and was a thinking, intellectual Goddess.  A patron of skills such as spinning and weaving, crafts and peacetime pursuits, also associated with the owl and olive branches.
