According to Greek mythology, Athens was an intellectual chameleon. Those born under this sign tend to be endless thinkers who are also very intelligent.
Athena was one of the twelve gods of Olympia. Athena itself symbolizes the goddess of wisdom and war, we can recognize Athena through its symbol that symbolizes the owl and shield (aegis) and sometimes seen holding the head of Medusa. In Roman mythology, the equivalent of Athens is Minerva. One of the most well-known myths about Athens is about the way it was born. Metis, whose name means advice, was Athena’s mother and first consort of Zeus. When Zeus was warned that one of his sons might overthrow him, Zeus then swallowed Metis.
This resulted in Zeus absorbing the wisdom of Metis and Athena was trapped inside his head. In one version of the story, Hermes who saw Zeus suffering from severe headaches then found a way to solve the problem. Hermes called Hephaestus, who then opened Zeus’s head with a hammer, allowing Athena to come out. Another myth about Athens concerns his efforts to protect Athens.
