About Athena
In ancient Greek legend, Athena was the goddess of wisdom, as well as a warrior goddess who was as valiant in battle as she was wise. She was born having sprung from the head of Zeus, the King of the Gods himself, not born of a woman. The Greek city of Athens is named for her.
It was fortuitous for many ancient Greek heroes to curry favor with Athena, as she was a powerful ally to have. While she often assisted her favorite humans and heroes in battle, one of Athena's sacred symbols was the olive branch, a sign of peace. While fighting may have been a neccessary evil, military strategy and the intelligence to escape with as many lives intact was a trait admired by Athena.
Dressing up as Athena
Carry yourself with the grace of a goddess with an Athena costume in standard and plus sizes! Several beautiful Athena costumes are available from an eye-catching sky blue one-shouldered velvet gown trimmed in gold with a matching headdress, to a simple white toga style dress. To capture Athena in her fierce, warrior goddess aspect, there is the Athena Warrior Queen costume with a skirt, breastplate armor, and gauntlets.
Add some fun props to your costume to separate you from the other Olympian goddesses with symbols that were sacred to the goddess Athena herself. Carry a stuffed owl, a symbol of her wisdom -- or a large, golden shield and battle armor!
