Athena is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom. She was a warrior of strategy, an example to woman, a virgin Goddess. She is associated with the color grey and her animal, the owl.

Who of us couldn't use a little bit of wisdom to help guide us? This necklace is a great reminder to think of Her, and find the wisest choices in our lives.

This one of a kind necklace is just a hair over 20" from clasp to clasp (pendant hanging about an 1 1/2" below that) and I could add a little length for no extra charge if you like it to hang a little bit longer.

The Orphic Hymn to Athena

Pallas, you only-begotten One, born of mighty Zeus, awesome you are, and divine:
Goddess so blessed, lifting high the turmoil of the fray,
Mighty One unspeakable yet so well spoken of!
Great-named One at home in a vault of stone,
Caught up in haughty hills and wandering the shaded mountain's ridge,
You who put a dance in the heart and glory in embattlements,
You can put the sting of mania into a mortal soul!
Athletic Maiden with a heart sublime,
Slayer of the Gorgon, fugitive of the bridal bed,
Mother of Art in all your abundance, catalyst of progress!
You bring folly to the corrupt and a sense of purpose to the pure!
Indeed, you are male and female in one,
Patron of war and wisdom,
You are fluid of form, a dragon,
Infused with inspiration of the Gods!
Rightly-honored One, who brought Phlegran giants down to defeat,
You driver
