Who guides me through her wisdom and power.
Athena is the daughter of Zeus and Metis. She is the goddess of wisdom, war, justice, weaving, pottery, and carpentry. In her capacity as goddess of war she is different from her brother Ares. She is more of an advisor than a soldier, although representations of her show her dressed in armor and carrying a spear. She is also considered to be a virgin goddess.
She is the patron of the city of Athens, and her most famous temple, the Parthenon, is located there. Many of her other temples are located in the centers of cities. It is said that of all the gods, she is the most comfortable among humans. She will often appear to individuals in the guise of a friend, or at least in a human body, to give one advice in difficult times.
The olive tree is sacred to her, and it was her gift to the people of Athens. The owl is her totem animal. She is often accompanied by the goddess of victory, Nike. Many people confuse the two goddesses.
