In ancient Greek mythology Athena was the goddess of war, wisdom, and handicrafts. She was one of the 12 gods believed to live on Mount Olympus. She is associated with the Roman goddess Minerva because they shared many of the same characteristics.
Athena is portrayed as a shrewd companion of heroes and is the patron goddess of heroic endeavour. She is the virgin patroness of Athens. The Athenians founded the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honour. Veneration of Athena was so persistent that archaic myths about her were recast to adapt to cultural changes.
