Athena's Dove is a symbol of peace. Athena (the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology) has a dove which is a symbol of peace. In the Christian bible, God sends down a dove as his son Jesus is being baptized to say that he is proud of him showing those with him at the time that he is the son of God. The dove is also seen in Genesis( first book of The Bible) when Noah sends out a dove to see if the flood waters have gone down. When it returns the second time it is carrying an Olive Branch, showing that the unrest in the world is over.
