The Athena Pallas is one of the most important busts surviving of
the Greek goddess Athena (Roman Minerva) because it was carved of
Parian marble, found on the island of Crete, and believed to be
carved by the sculptor Cephisodote from the late Classical period
in the 4th century. Athena--as the Greek goddess of wisdom, skills
and warfare--was one of the twelve Olympians. Here she is depicted
wearing her traditional helmet.
Reproduced after an ancient original in the Louvre Museum, Paris.
