It is said Athena was born by Zeus and the goddess of wisdom Metis. There was a prophecy that the son of Metis would overthrow Zeus. Zeus was afraid that the prophecy would come true, so he swallowed the whole of Metis into his stomach. After that, Zeus suffered from severe headache. Zeus, the father of the gods, had to ask Hephaestus, the God of fire, to open his head, and the God of fire did so.

Details of the statue of Athena
Athena is the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology and the patron saint of Athens. It was originally the main statue of the main hall of the Parthenon, with a height of 13 meters. It carved with silver marble and partially inlaid with ivory and gold. Unfortunately, it destroyed in the Byzantine Empire.
In this Greek goddess sculpture, she wears a helmet and a long dress of Greek style. The breastplate and armor are with snake shaped trimmings and human heads. She bare her arms, and through her thin clothes and skirts, we could see her beautiful and powerful body. The whole image is full of feminine tenderness and full of life. It is more human than divine, which indicates that art in the Hellenistic period has become secular. This statue of Athena is reproduced by the Arturban sculpture factory. The green sculpture color adds classical artistic beauty. The movements and expressions of the characters, the details of dresses and accessories are also vividly showing. It not only displays the characteristics of ancient Greek characters, but also vividly portrays the elegant temperament of Athena and the image of soldiers. This remade Athena gives visitors the atmosphere of visiting the ancient temple.
