About Athena
Goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare and crafts, and the clever protector of the city of Athens.
A famous story
Athena was born fully grown and armoured straight from the head of Zeus. She won the city of Athens by gifting its people the olive tree, a prize they valued more than Poseidon's spring of seawater — and the city has carried her name ever since.
