Solid Sterling Silver Rare Athena's Owl Coin Pendant Charm Necklace W/W.O Chain

Description

Warrior Goddess
Since ancient times,
the owl and the olive branch have been featured on
the Athenian currency to spread the
values of the city’s patroness,
Athena,
whose virtue represents
victory, peace, and wisdom.
The owl
The owl’s ability to see in the darkness,
represents wisdom;
the olive branch
is a symbol of the goddess’s peaceful
victory
over Poseidon for the city of Athens.
These sacred symbols propagated Athenian
values
of victory, peace, and wisdom throughout
the ancient world,
and are still
featured on the Greek €1 coin.
These Owl coins funded the building of the
Acropolis and
Parthenon in Athens,
as well as funding the
Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC)
between
Athens and Sparta.
