The Greek goddess Athena's two most common symbols are the owl and the olive tree.

Owl: The owl represents great wisdom.

Olive tree: When Athena competed with her uncle Poseiden to become the patriot of a thriving city, she won the competition by giving the city an olive tree, which they found more useful than Poseiden's saltwater spring. Athena was declared patriot goddess and the city was named Athens in her name.
