Greek Mythology

What does ΑΘΕ mean? If you've spent any time researching Greek mythology you may have seen ΑΘΕ before. ΑΘΕ means ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ – of Athenians, or (the people of Athens). Athens is the birthplace of some of the most important and influential people in Western intellectual history like Sophocles, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Aristophanes, Euripides, Phidias, and Pericles to name a few. Athens is also known as the first documented democracy in the world. Other democracies were then modeled after the Athenians. 

ΑΘΕ is displayed on the currency of Athena. The goddess Athena is the goddess of wisdom, courage, strategic warfare, inspiration, law, justice, mathematics, skill, strategy, and strength. She is usually shown in art wearing a helmet and holding a spear. Her most common symbols are owls, and olive trees.
