Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father's head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother's robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius. Athena's companion was the goddess of victory, Nike, and her usual attribute is the owl. Athena possessed the Aegis, the mighty goat skin that protected her like a shield.
This wonderful statue made of fine white alabaster stone is a reproduction of the lost ivory & gold statue of Athena Parthenos that once stood at the frontgate of the Athenian Acropolis in the 5th century B.C. and was 65 feet high.
