Athena is the shrewd companion of heroes and the goddess of heroic endeavour. She is the patron of Athens, which built the Parthenon to worship her. In a temple at Phrixa in Elis, which was reportedly built by Clymenus, she was known as Cydonia.
Athena is an armed warrior goddess, and appears in Greek mythology as a helper of many heroes, including Odysseus, Jason and Heracles.
Athena never had a consort or lover and thus, also was known as Athena Parthenos, "Virgin Athena."Her most famous temple, the Parthenon, on the Acropolis in Athens takes its name from this title. It was not merely an observation of her virginity, but a recognition of her role as enforcer of rules of sexual modesty and ritual mystery.
Yes, she is the goddess of war, crafts and wisdom. Olive trees and owls symbolize her.
