Framed Athena Artwork
Athena was a Greek goddess associated with wisdom, knowledge, law, arts, crafts and skill. By mythology, Athens got its name because Athena had a competition with Poseidon and she won.
The gift that she gave to the Ancient Greeks in Athens was the first Olive tree that their king accepted. Some of the attributes that she had that differentiated her from other gods are her moderation and virginity.
In many myths, Athena’s words were the voice of reason and because of that, the Greeks held her in high regards. Even Romans had a high respect for wisdom and skill, so her equivalent in Roman mythology was Minerva. If you want to feel the wisdom and radiant strong energy of this wise Greek goddess, framed Athena art is the right kind of art for your home.
The famous temple Parthenon in Athens, the capital city of Greece, was built in honor to Athena. Also, a statue of Athena was built in the capital city, in her full battle gear and with Nike, goddess of victory, in her hand. Athena was worshiped as a goddess of philosophy in the Classical Greece, and had festivals held in her honor.
In mythology, she was a helper of Greek heroes, especially Jason, Heracles and Odysseus. She was leading battles as a tactical and strategic leader, in opposition to Ares, her brother, who was relying to brute force and bloodlust. Although she was a tactical leader, she also disproved unnecessary violence and was always suggesting a peaceful and mindful resolution to conflict. She only encouraged battle if that encounter would resolve a conflict or have a justifiable cause.
