Here's a detail of the Austrian Parliament in Vienna, Pallas Athene. In Greek mythology, Athena was the goddess of civilization, specifically wisdom, weaving, and crafts. Athena's wisdom encompasses the technical knowledge employed in weaving, metal-working, but also includes the cunning intelligence (metis) of such figures as Odysseus. The owl and the olive tree are sacred to her. She is accompanied by the goddess of victory, Nike. More infos about the Parliament can be found on my former posted photo Vienna by night - Parliament.

Comments are welcome of course :o)
