Aegis in Mythology

In Greek mythology, the Aegis is a protective shield or cloak associated primarily with Zeus and Athena. Often depicted as bearing the head of Medusa, it symbolizes divine protection, authority, and power. When a god or hero wields the Aegis, it enhances their ability to command, defend, and instill fear in enemies. The Aegis is more than just a physical shield; it represents a source of formidable divine backing, strength, and sovereignty, often used in myth to demonstrate the divine support behind major gods and their missions.
