Athena was the goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, and artisans. Athena invented the flute, the trumpet, the chariot, and the ship. She also taught women's arts such as cooking and weaving. Zeus, King of the Gods, was her father. Her mother was one of Zeus’ many affairs that bore offspring.

Athena was a very important Goddess to the Greeks. Named after the great city of Athens, Athena was the city’s protector. Her symbols included the olive branch, the owl and sometimes the snake. In making pieces for the Athena collection I have tried to convey both her strength and artistic skill.

Roman Name: Minerva
