Athena was born from the head of Zeus, the king of the gods, already an adult and armed. She was the patron goddess of the city of Athens, which dedicated its main temple, the Parthenon, located on the Acropolis, to her. A colossal statue of Athena Parthenos (“virgin”) by the great Athenian sculptor Phidias, made of marble and gold, once stood in the temple. The pediments depicted two scenes from her life: her birth and her contest with the sea god Poseidon for the patronage of Athens. She was also the protector of Greek heroes such as Perseus and Odysseus. Her attributes include the olive tree, the owl, the helmet, the spear, the aegis, and the shield with the head of Medusa.

This bust of Athena is an excellent choice for those seeking a classic and elegant decorative piece, whether for their home or workplace. The quality of the materials used ensures its durability and resistance to the effects of time.

Decorating with reproductions of sculptures representing characters from classical mythology, such as this bust of Goddess Athena, is an elegant and timeless way to add a touch of sophistication to the spaces in our home.
