Heracles, the hero and god, clad in the pelt of the Nemean lion, with his olive-wood
club. Paragon of masculinity, extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity and sexual
prowess with both males and females were among his attributes. Although he was not as
clever as Odysseus, Heracles used his wits on several occasions when his strength did
not suffice. Here he holds his kylix (κύλιξ), the two-handled drinking cup, which the
goddess fills with her oinochoe (οἰνοχόη), the pitcher for wine, inevitably mixed with
water.
Behind them, a stylized version of the olive tree. Thus the two great items of Greek
agriculture and commerce are symbolized.
and Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and
justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. Athena is
also a shrewd companion of heroes and is the goddess of heroic endeavour. She is the
virgin patron of Athens. The Athenians founded the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her
namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honor.
Athena's veneration as the patron of Athens seems to have existed from the earliest
times, and was so persistent that archaic myths about her were recast to adapt to
cultural changes. In her role as a protector of the city (polis), many people throughout
the Greek world worshiped Athena as Athena Polias (Ἀθηνᾶ Πολιάς "Athena of the
city"). The city of Athens and the goddess Athena essentially bear the same
name,"Athenai" meaning "[many] Athenas".
Here, she is represented as Athena Promachos (front-line fighter), with her helmet and
spear. Ares was the god of war’s bloody and brutal side. She, the goddess of war’s brainy
and just side. She holds her totemic owl in her left hand.
