The owls in Greek Mythology

In the mythology of ancient Greece, Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom,

was impressed by both the big eyes and

from the celebratory appearance of the owl that,

after the mischievous raven escaped, he honored the night bird,

making it her favorite among winged creatures.

Athena’s bird was the Little Owl (Athene noctua).

This owl was protected and

inhabited the Acropolis in large numbers.

It is believed that a magical “inner light” gave the owl night vision.

As a symbol of Athena, the owl was a protector,

accompanying the Greek armies in the war and

providing decorative inspiration for their everyday life.

If an owl flew over the Greek soldiers before a battle,

they took it as a sign of victory.

The Little Owl also adorned the reverse of their coins in Athenian trade.
