Ancient Greek Coin Necklace with Athenas Owl in Sterling Silver on a 20" Chain for Men or Women, #7014 Sterling Silver Ancient Coin Pendant with Athena's Owl. This is a replica of an ancient Greek coin. In Greek mythology Athena is the goddess of war, civilization, wisdom, strength, strategy, 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. This pendant is suitable for men or women and comes on a 20" 1mm rhodium plated sterling silver box chain. Sterling silver owl pendant is 3/4" wide.
