Athena
[b]
or
Athene
,
[c]
often given the
epithet
Pallas
,
[d]
is an
ancient Greek goddess
associated with wisdom, handicraft, and warfare
[3]
who was later
syncretized
with the
Roman goddess
Minerva
.
[4]
Athena was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of
Athens
, from which she most likely received her name.
[5]
She's usually shown in art wearing a helmet and holding a spear. Her major symbols include
owls
,
olive trees
,
snakes
, and the
Gorgoneion
.
From her origin as an Aegean
palace goddess
, Athena was closely associated with the city. She was known as
Polias
and
Poliouchos
(both derived from
polis
, meaning "city-state"), and her temples were usually located atop the fortified
acropolis
in the central part of the city. The
Parthenon
on the
Athenian Acropolis
is dedicated to her, along with numerous other temples and monuments. As the patron of craft and weaving, Athena was known as
Ergane
. She's also a
warrior goddess
, and was believed to lead soldiers into battle as
Athena Promachos
. Her main festival in Athens was the
Panathenaia
, which was celebrated during the month of
Hekatombaion
in midsummer and was the most important festival on the Athenian calendar.
In
Greek mythology
, Athena was believed to have been born from the head of her father
Zeus
. In the
founding myth
of Athens, Athena bested
Poseidon
in a competition over patronage of the city by creating the first olive tree. She's known as
Athena Parthenos
"Athena the Virgin," but in one archaic
Attic
myth, the god
Hephaestus
tried and failed to rape her, resulting in
Gaia
giving birth to
Erichthonius
, an important Athenian founding hero.
Athena was the patron goddess of heroic endeavor; she's believed to have aided the heroes
Perseus
,
Heracles
,
Bellerophon
, and
Jason
. Along with
Aphrodite
and
Hera
, Athena was one of the three goddesses
whose feud
resulted in the beginning of the
Trojan War
. She plays an active role in the
Iliad
, in which she assists the
Achaeans
and, in the
Odyssey
, she is the divine counselor to
Odysseus
.
In the later writings of the Roman poet
Ovid
, Athena was said to have competed against the mortal
Arachne
in a weaving competition, afterwards transforming Arachne into the first spider; Ovid also describes how she transformed
Medusa
into a
Gorgon
after witnessing her being raped by Poseidon in her temple. Since the
Renaissance
, Athena has become an international symbol of wisdom, the arts, and
classical learning
. Western artists and
allegorists
have often used Athena as a symbol of
freedom
and
democracy
.

;
[1]
Greek
:

,
pronounced

) was one of the
Twelve Olympians
in
ancient Greek religion
and
myth
, god of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses.
[2]
In pre-Olympian
Bronze Age Greece
, he was venerated as a chief deity at
Pylos
and
Thebes
.
[2]
His Roman equivalent is
Neptune
.
Poseidon was protector of seafarers, and of many Hellenic cities and colonies. In
Homer
's
Iliad
, Poseidon supports the Greeks against the Trojans during the
Trojan War
and in the
Odyssey
, during the sea-voyage from Troy back home to
Ithaca
, the Greek hero
Odysseus
provokes Poseidon's fury by blinding his son, the
Cyclops
Polyphemus
, resulting in Poseidon punishing him with storms, the complete loss of his ship and companions, and a ten-year delay. Poseidon is also the subject of a
Homeric hymn
. In
Plato
's
Timaeus
and
Critias
, the island of
Atlantis
was Poseidon's domain.
