In the stories of Greek mythology, Athena is by no means merely wise. Often, she is ruthless toward her rivals. To give you an example: A beautiful woman once incurred Athena’s wrath because she caught the attention of Poseidon, the god of the sea, at a sacred site. As punishment, Athena transformed the unfortunate woman into a monster with venomous snakes for hair. Do you know the name of the once beautiful mortal?

In the Athena Quiz, we’ll take a look at the goddess’s symbols and companions. Many ancient coins and depictions feature a small bird by her side, which is regarded as a symbol of wisdom. This companion symbolises the forethought and divine foresight of the patron goddess of the city of Athens. That’s why we’re asking you: Which animal is associated with the Greek goddess Athena?

Stories about the world of the gods spread throughout the Mediterranean region over the centuries and were later adopted by other cultures. The Romans adapted the Greek myths to their own needs and ideas and gave the Greek gods Roman names. For the patron goddess of artisans and strategists, they used a name that is just as firmly established in modern language. Do you know what Athena’s Roman name is?
