Athena Minerva According to legend and mythology, the Greek Athena parthenon statue represents a goddess who was born from the head of her father Zeus, ruler of the gods on Mount Olympus, fully grown and fully armed with strong attributes of self-confidence, courage, strength, intelligence and judiciousness. Athena (Minerva) was worshiped as the giver of civilization. In Greek mythology, Athena was the goddess of wisdom, household arts, crafts, spinning, weaving and textiles. Athena, and the statue in the picture, symbolizes the Roman "goddess of war" because she was the guardian of Athens and so the city was named after her. The statue of Athena symbolizes a defender of heroes, champion of justice and upholder of civil law.   Finished: $98 Finish: Classic Faux Marble Gray-White Faux Marble Plain White White Beige Antiquing Sandstone Fogging Gold Leaf Gold Leaf Walnut Antiquing Black Verdigris Gold Black Faux Marble Faux Bronze Texture: High GlossSemi-Gloss Flat Item: #01184 Size: 10.5"x4"x3” Weight: 0.5 lbs.   Full List > Goddesses > Previous - Next
