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 as the goddess of philosophy became an aspect of her cult in Classical Greece during the late 5th century BC. She is the patroness of various crafts, especially of weaving, as Athena Ergane, and was honored as such at festivals such as Chalceia. The metalwork of weapons also fell under her patronage.
