Explanation:

In Greek Mythology that is based on the myths of Ancient Greece, Athena, also called Athene, was considered as the goddess of war and wisdom, indeed for the Greeks Athena was the goddess that protected the Greek cities and the warriors during battles including the soldiers that were part of the Trojan War helping them with her tactics. Athena is commonly represented or depicted besides an olive tree, an armor or an owl, which has become the most representative symbol of this goddess.
