In classical mythology, Athena is often depicted with an owl, symbolizing wisdom, rather than a snake. However, she is sometimes associated with snakes in her role as a protector of the city and in her connection to the earth and fertility. For example, the mythological figure of Medusa, a snake-haired Gorgon, is linked to her in the story of Perseus. Overall, while snakes are not her primary symbol, they do appear in some contexts related to her mythology.
