Origin[]
Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, law and strategy. Athena is portrayed as a shrewd companion of heroes and is the patron goddess of heroic endeavor. The Athenians founded the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honor. The owl and olive branch have become symbols of her wisdom. The aegis is a shield with the depiction of a Gorgon painted upon it.
Effects[]
Causes panic when viewed from the front, making onlookers run away from it in terror. Only the wielder will not be affected, but they will also hear loud roaring, making them increasingly deaf with use.
