Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology, is often depicted wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a griffin. This iconic image symbolizes Athena's association with warfare, strategy, and protection. The crested helmet signifies her role as a warrior goddess, while the griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle, represents strength, courage, and vigilance. The Attic helmet, characterized by its distinctive shape and design, was commonly worn by ancient Greek warriors and became closely associated with Athena, emphasizing her martial prowess and divine authority. Depictions of Athena wearing such a helmet highlight her role as a guardian and defender, embodying the virtues of wisdom, strength, and protection. Starting price: 500 EUR |  |
