Ancient Athena's Owl Coin Necklace. A lovely replica of an ancient Greek coin. In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of war, wisdom, strength, crafts, justice and skill. In Homeric poetry, Athena's most common epithet translates to "bright-eyed" or "with gleaming eyes," much like an owl. Many scholars argue that Athena is the owl herself - she is wisdom.
Silver version comes on a simple sterling silver 18" cable chain with a spring ring clasp, adjustable to 16". The charm measures 20x19mm, excluding jumprings. Gold tone version features a bronze charm on an 18" gold-filled chain and is not adjustable.
