Athena was one of ancient Greece’s most revered deities, goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, justice, and crafts. Born fully armed from the head of her father Zeus, she embodied both intellectual and martial excellence. As patron of the city of Athens—named in her honor—Athena was associated with the olive tree, the owl, and the Aegis shield. In myth she guided heroes like Odysseus and Perseus, offering counsel and divine protection. Her temples, especially the Parthenon on the Acropolis, were cultural and religious centers, reflecting her central role in Greek civic life and ideals of balanced strength and wisdom.
Athena is a playable god in SMITE 2 (2024).
