Mythology Art Journal - Athena - an idea of a character representing so many powerful traits

Hi Helen
Love this theme. Got me to thinking who would I want to spend some journaling time with.

Athena. Yes the Greeks armed her for war - but research shows it was with cause. She was a mentor to heros, represented wisdom, justice and crafts. Attended by an owl. So many sub-themes to explore and enjoy. Oh my, that was an old that just screached twice outside my window.

Can you imagine this statue, 40' tall, made of ivory and gold? I need to read more about her before we visit Athens later this year.

I'm grateful for the inspiration you have given me to learn more because this will add interest and depth to our travels and a unique approach to my art play. Thanks Helen.
Maura
