Athena was the patron of womanly crafts, like needlecraft and sewing, and also of defensive warfare and strategy. Her "gifts" would have been wisdom and a deftness of the hands.
No object truly fits Athena. Usually her symbol is an owl, for its wisdom. If I were to give here another symbol in the form of an object, it would probably be her spear and shield for she is also the goddess of war. (as well as wisdom)
Athena was a virgin goddess in Greek mythology. Athena did not give birth.
The gray-eyed goddess has the ability to grant people many different buffs. In the Odyssey Athena gave Odysseus the power of determination in certain times. She also can give infinite wisdom, glory, and strength in the field of military tactics. All those powers were offered to Paris when he had to judge who was the hottest goddess in the world (and athena was competing).
Athena is the Goddess that supposedly protects Athens. Athena and Poseidon fought over controll of the city. Each God had to give a present to the people whichever was the best would protect and 'rule' over Athens. Poseidon made a geyser of salt water. And Athena gave them an olive tree. Since the people could do nothing with salt water they chose Athena. Which in Greek mythology guards Athens.
She was their patron goddess.

In Greek mythology, Athena was born from Zeus' head after he swallowed her pregnant mother Metis. She became a powerful goddess of wisdom, warfare, and crafts because of her strategic counsel and association with concepts like justice and civilization. Athena's birth was significant because it symbolized Zeus's ability to give birth without a mother, highlighting her independence and wisdom as a deity.
Yes. She gave an olive tree to a city. That city named itself Athens, after Athena. That is not all though......(Check the Internet)...... Now, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, so she is wise, therefore she gives wise advice to people.........
No Athena did not. The Greek goddess Athena was a virgin, she did not give birth to any child.
The Greeks did not give a date to their mythology.
Being the goddess of wisdom she probably brought knowledge to the people she had in favor. She was also a very kind goddess unlike the rest of the gods. In one myth, a man saw Athena bathing and was blinded, she then gave him a pack of snakes who would protect him plus gave him the sight of prophecy.
Athena of Greek mythology was a virgin goddess, she did not give birth to any baby.
