ABOUT THIS ITEM
=====================================================

In the mythology of ancient Greece, Athene, the Goddess of Wisdom, was so impressed by the great eyes and solemn
appearance of the Owl that, having banished the mischievous crow, she honoured the night bird by making him her favourite
among feathered creatures. Athene's bird was a Little Owl, (Athene noctua). This Owl was protected and inhabited the
Acropolis in great numbers. It was believed that a magical "inner light" gave Owls night vision. As the symbol of Athene,
the Owl was a protector, accompanying Greek armies to war, and providing ornamental inspiration for their daily lives.
If an Owl flew over Greek Soldiers before a battle, they took it as a sign of victory. The Little Owl also kept a watchful eye
on Athenians and commerce from the reverse side of their coins.
