One of the twelve Gods of Olympus, Athena was the daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Metis. She was always depicted in armor and her name varied according to her function, such as Athena Ergane (manual work), Athena Nike (victory), and Athena Parthenos (virgin). Many artworks found throughout Greece were dedicated to her, demonstrating the widespread worship of the goddess even outside Athens, whose patron she was.
