Caption: About The Myth of Athena
Additional Description: In Greek Mythology, Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom and the useful arts, and the protector of cities. Her title Athena Parthenon refers to her status as a maiden goddess; the name for the Parthenon is derived from the Epithet and Translates into English as “The house of the Maiden.” Born from the head of Zeus, King of the Gods, Athena inherited much of her father’s power and wisdom. Athena’s preeminent place in the myths depicted on the artwork adorning the Parthenon also reflects the Preeminent position the city of Athens enjoyed in the mid-fifth Century B.C.
