Athena
Athena is a prominent goddess from ancient Greek mythology, known as the goddess of wisdom, courage, and warfare. She is often depicted with a helmet and shield, symbolizing her strategic nature in battles. Athena is also associated with crafts, particularly weaving, and is revered as the protector of the city of Athens, which is named after her. Unlike Ares, the god of chaotic war, Athena represents disciplined and strategic combat. Stories of her birth, famously from the head of Zeus, highlight her unique nature as a powerful female figure in a male-dominated pantheon.
