Our Name Often people ask us about our name, Athene, and our logo, an owl. The name Athene originated from Greek mythology, and the Little Owl ‘Athene Noctua’ was the messenger of Athene, the goddess of wisdom. Legend has it that, during a particularly heated battle that was going badly for the Greeks, a Little Owl was seen to fly over the battlefield. The Greek soldiers saw this as a sign that Athene was favouring their struggle, and redoubled their efforts to seize victory. From then on, a very astute General kept a box of Little Owls in reserve, ready to release them and repeat the effect should the fight turn against his men again. As a company, we aim to embrace the wisdom of the owl, the creative thinking of the Greek General and the determination of his armies to achieve our own – and our clients’ – objectives.
