Who is Athena and what does she represent?

Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, strategy, and courage. Unlike Ares (the god of brute war), Athena represents strategic thinking, calculated decisions, and intellectual strength. She is often depicted with an owl (wisdom), olive branch (peace through strategy), and shield (protection). In mythology, she was born fully armored from the head of Zeus, symbolizing that true power comes from the mind.
