sources in order to analyze the Myth of Athena. The

investigation shed light the way Homer and Hesiod stated the

myth of Athena and how it was reinterpreted in the visual arts.

The paper suggests that on the basis of these literary, historical

and visual arts examples one can reconstruct the Myth of

Athena, and can see how Greek people thought about their

gods. How myths are the reflection of believes and

imagination of Greeks and how it has influenced the art of the
