Yes. the goddess Athena or Athene's pet was an owl of wisdom. Blah blah.
well, athena is the goddess of wisdom, and the owl has been associated with wisdom for as long as anyone can remeber.
From ancient times, people have considered the owl a symbol of wisdom. This is probably because the owl has a serious look/face, perhaps leading people to think they're wise. Wise as an owl can mean wise as the symbol of wisdom. It can also be a reference to the behavior of the owl in the nursery rhyme: A wise old owl lived in an oak The more he saw the less he spoke The less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't we all be like that wise old bird? Wise as an owl means the person being described is very wise, and probably knows a lot of information.
