greece - Athena

made at www.azaleasdolls.com/dressupga…

Played a bit on that maker, and because I never use dollmakers for what they are made for, I created a few greek goddesses on the Viking Woman Maker. Seems legit.
Here is Athena, in ancient times the protector of the city of Athens. She and Poseidon fought over the city, and they let the people decide: Poseidon gave them a well so they would choose him for their god; however, because he is a god of the sea, it was a saltwater well. Athena gave them an olive tree of which, even in early times, Athenians made a very fine oil, and the people chose her for their protector deity. Athena is a warrior goddess, normally wearing a breastplate over her dress as well as a spear and helmet and, usually, also a shield with the head of Medusa (could not depict that here). But she is also a goddess of wisdom and law, often accompanied by an owl. Kinda nice that the helmet on this maker has wings, can be used as an owl reference.
