Athena

Athena was known to be the Goddess of wisdom,courage,justice,you could say she was jack of all trades.she is depicted as a shrewd companion of heroes.She was more of a strategist and a diplomat,often Athena was called upon to mediate wars among the gods.She condemned violence unless necessary.Apart from Athens she extended her hand to Argos,Sparta.When Zeus swallowed her fearing his life,Athena leaped from Zeus head.
When i read about her I was inspired by her courage and wit,it gave me hope and strength to create my own identity.
Through the metal armour and cloth i wanted to show that her being a warrior should not rob her off her feminine side.She embraces her warrior persona and at the same time doesn't try to hide or is ashamed of her body. according to the mythology Athena took up a bird's or an owl's form which is the inspiration behind her attire.The sharp jawline and straight posture depicts control and strength.Athena is shown holding a sphere in the hand draped with cloth to show her trying to dissolve a war create peace rather that jumping in it head on.The serpent crawling up the sphere is her adoptive son Erichthonius in actuality,but i have assumed it to be her companion who she trusts and gives her strength and assurance to always have her back
