Diosa Athenea

Awarded 50 points donated by Exclusive stock, Features and llama from "Diosa Athenea"
I dig how the artist has included many of the elements that Athena is associated with governing, all done in an ethereal fashion as would be in the heavens. The stock model is a good "fit" and not overly used in DA. The palette is a good one for what is being created here as well. Great blending too. Good job!

Atenea es la diosa de la sabiduría, de las artes y de la artesanía. Representa la inteligencia creadora. Es patrona de los ceramistas, de los tejedores, constructores y otros artesanos.
Es una diosa guerrera, pero carece del carácter violento e irreflexivo de Ares, sino que se sirve de la valentía prudente, como se aprecia en la Ilíada. También personifica la inteligencia (clara herencia de la figura de su madre) y la sabiduría.

Figura y atributos
Su importancia es casi tanta como la de Hera, y más en Atenas, como protectora de la ciudad. De Macedonia a Esparta sólo la supera Zeus. Es una virgen majestuosa, de rostro bello, pero severo. Sus ojos son gris claro, su cuerpo fuerte pero con gracia. O armada o con un huso.
Atributos: Sus atributos son la armadura completa, el yelmo, la la larga lanza y el escudo (con la cabeza de Gorgona); también la egida y el huso. Sus animales son la lechuza y la serpiente. Como plantas tiene el olivo.

Lugares de Culto
Se le rinde culto en el Partenón y en el Erecteion de Atenas; también en Asia. El Partenón es un templo griego situado en la Acrópolis de Atenas y dedicado a la diosa Atenea. Se le considera como una de las más bellas construcciones arquitectónicas de la humanidad. Fue construido entre los años 447 y 432 a.C. por los arquitectos Ictino y Calícrates bajo la supervisión de Fidias autor de la decoración escultórica y de una gran estatua de Atenea en oro y marfil.
