Hoplites of Athena

The Greek Goddess Athena was the patron God and
protector of Ancient Athens. Athena was born from the
forehead of Zeus. The primary attributes of Athena were that
she was recognized by her followers as the Goddess of
wisdom and war, but she also had may other attributes. The
symbols she upheld were the Aegis (shield) and the owl . Her
gift to the ancient world was the olive tree, which the ancient
Greeks used for food, oil, and wood for construction
projects. The ancient Greeks loved the gifts she bestowed
upon them and named their city "Athens" in honor of her
name. They also built the Parthenon on the highest point of
the Acropolis in a gesture to be closer to the goddess. It was
once said, that as long as you have Athena on your side you
will always emerge victorious! Yes, Sweet Victory!
