Athena Goddess of Wisdom Coloring Page

Athena possessed incredible wisdom, strategic warfare knowledge, and crafting skills. Her symbols included the owl (representing wisdom), the shield called the aegis, a spear, and the serpent. She could weave magic into her fabrics and was said to have sprung fully grown from her father Zeus's head.

According to Greek mythology, Athena and Poseidon competed to become the patron deity of a great city. Athena offered the city an olive tree, symbolizing peace and prosperity, while Poseidon offered a salt spring. The citizens chose Athena's gift, and they named the city Athens in her honor.

Arachne was a mortal woman famous for her weaving skills. She boasted she was better than Athena herself. The goddess challenged her to a weaving contest. Although Arachne wove beautifully, Athena was offended by her hubris and transformed her into a spider, condemned to weave forever.
