Αθηνά, known as Athena in English, is the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare, and crafts. She is often depicted wearing armor and a helmet, symbolizing her role as a protector of cities. A key figure in Greek mythology, she is the daughter of Zeus and is associated with the city of Athens, which is named after her. Athena is also recognized for her strategic skill in warfare, contrasting with the more chaotic aspects of battle represented by Ares. She is often depicted with an owl, symbolizing wisdom, and the olive tree, which represents peace and prosperity.
