Our inspiration

Athena led armies that fought for just causes. In times of peace, she taught the residents of Athens 'the fine and useful arts.' As the goddess of wisdom, she created for the city its most versatile gift: an olive tree branching from the crevice of a rock. The tree was the first of many that would come to enrich the Athenians with olives, oil, and wood.

 

Under her leadership, Athenians grew famous for their arts and crafts.
