In Greek mythology, Athena was the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and crafts. She was the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, and was born fully grown and armored from his forehead. Athena was often depicted with an owl, which symbolized wisdom, and a shield, spear, and helmet, which represented her role as a warrior. She was also associated with crafts, particularly weaving, and was said to have invented the plow, the flute, and the olive tree. Athena was highly respected among the gods and was seen as a protector of heroes and the city of Athens, which was named after her.
