Athena – Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Strategy, and Sacred Sovereignty

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, war strategy, crafts, and justice. Born fully formed from Zeus’s head, she represents intellect over brute force, and sovereignty rooted in clarity and truth.

• Patron of Athens, where the Parthenon was built in her honor, she guided heroes like Odysseus and Perseus with logic, courage, and vision.

• Unlike Ares, who represents chaotic warfare, Athena embodies disciplined strategy, diplomacy, and wise leadership. She is also a protector of artisans, philosophers, and independent thinkers.
