The Owl of Athena

In Greek and Roman myth, the owl is linked to Athena, called Minerva by the Romans. She is the goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare. The owl stood for keen sight and foresight. Athena jewelry like this recalls those virtues.

Hand-Minted Character

The slightly irregular round shape reflects hand-minted coinage. Ancient Athenians placed the owl on their coins as a sign of the city's wisdom. This ancient Greek design has authentic historical roots.

A Wearable Lesson

Wearing it connects you to millennia of classical tradition. For students of mythology, this Greek mythology pendant is a wearable lesson in symbolism. It suits men, women, and young enthusiasts.

The Athena owl necklace suits any wearer. The 33 in cord adjusts by knotting the ends. The owl's watchful gaze reminds the wearer of the value of wisdom. This Athena jewelry pairs well with other mythology pieces, and the ancient Greek design also stands alone. Browse related pieces in our Greek and Roman collection. Prefer a chain?
