Characteristics of Athena?
Athena, the Greek Goddess, was most known for her wisdom. She was pictured with brown hair, a battle helmet, and war armor. She would also sometimes have an owl by her side or on her shoulder. She's the greek goddess of war, strategy, and wisdom, and different than Ares, who is the greek god of violent war, not strategic war. The birth of Athena is also pretty interesting, she popped out of Zeus' head (when Hephaestus chopped it open) and she was dressed in completely battle armor. She is the daughter of Metis and Zeus, because Zeus swallowed Metis whole (that's another story) and then eventually, Athena came to be.

What is Minerva's symbols?
She is also Nubian goddess Athenna and the Greek goddess of Knowledge and Technology, Athena. Just as Minerva she is Roman goddess. She is represented by a snake and a owl. The snake story I am unsure of exactly where it comes from, but it could come from the story of Cadmus and the birth of the city of Thebes in which Athena instructs Cadmus to remove the teeth of Ares' snake and sow them into the ground. The story of the owl comes from a story of some person was blaspheming the gods with all sorts of lies and cruel gestures, so Artemis, Athena, and another god came and had a party with them. One of the daughters was really mean to Athena, and Athena turned her into an owl. Stories aside, many pictures of statues and paintings of Athena depict her holding an owl, or with an owl near her. Also, many statues that were found in temples with Athena in holding a shield at her side and with a spear near her had a snake at her feet. I am unsure what significance the angel like being in her hand on those statues though hold. Addition: The 'angel-like' being is Nike, goddess of victory.
What is the definition of greek myths?
A Greek Myth is a story about Greek Gods or heroes who do fantastical things to make the world we know and "love" today. Here's an example: There was a new Greek village, and they wanted to name it after a God. Athena (Goddess of wisdom) and Poseidon (God of the Seas) wanted the name. To win the event, Poseidon conjured up a horse (or a stream in other stories). Athena made an olive tree pop up out of nowhere. Athena won. The city is now what we all know as Athens.
