The Myths
Born in full armor from Zeus's brow, Athena won Athens with the gift of the olive tree, guided Odysseus home, and turned the weaver Arachne into the first spider for her pride.
Symbols & Domains
The owl, the olive branch, and the aegis. Athena rules wisdom, strategy, and craft — wars are won in her temples before they are won in the field.
