The birth of Athena from the head of Zeus can be seen as symbolic of her rational temperament. Her very nature reflects the triumph of reason over passion, as she is consistently unmoved by the emotions of passion or romantic love. Her father is the most powerful and her mother the wisest of the gods and goddesses. Athena is thus a product of the union of power and wisdom.
El nacimiento de Atenea de la cabeza de Zeus puede verse como un símbolo del temperamento racional de la diosa. Su propia naturaleza refleja el triunfo de la razón sobre la pasión, permaneciendo inmutable ante las emociones de la pasión o el amor romántico. Su padre es el más poderoso y su madre la más sabia de los dioses y las diosas. Atenea es, por tanto, un producto de la unión del poder y la sabiduría.


To the Athenians, she was known as ''Parthenos'', which means “Virgin,” or “Maiden.” They built the Parthenon in her honor on the Acropolis at Athens. The beautiful Parthenon was one of the largest Greek temples and a masterpiece of Greek architecture. It was the spiritual center of Athens. Built on a high hill, it was visible for miles around and stood as a symbol of Athenian culture, wealth and power. Inside, toward the west end, towered a forty-foot-high ivory and gold statue of the goddess, sculpted by [[Serapis Bey#Phidias|Phidias]].
