Neoclassical sculpture of Athena . The Greek goddess Athena, Minerva in Rome, was born from the head of the king of the gods, Zeus, as a fully grown and armed woman. She was consecrated as the protector goddess of the city of Athens, whose citizens dedicated their main temple, the Parthenon, located on the Acropolis, to her. In the temple, there was a colossal statue of Athena Parthenos (“virgin”) created by the great Athenian sculptor Phidias in marble and gold, and the pediments depict two scenes from the goddess’s life: her birth and her dispute with the sea god Poseidon for the patronage of Athens. She is the protective goddess of strategy in war and philosophy, arts and techniques, and Greek heroes such as Perseus, Theseus, or Odysseus. Her attributes include the olive, owl, helmet, spear, aegis, and shield with the head of Medusa.
