In Greek mythology, the goddess of wisdom and warfare is Athena. Often associated with strategic warfare and intelligence rather than brute strength, Athena embodies qualities of reason, skill, and courage. She is also linked to various symbols such as the owl and the olive tree, representing wisdom and peace. As a patroness of heroes, Athena guided many, including Odysseus in “The Odyssey.” Her mythological stories emphasize the importance of knowledge and strategy in overcoming challenges and achieving success.
