Wisdom of Minerva Spread

On This Day

Minerva’s Greek counterpart was Athena, for whom the city of Athens was named.

Ancient Romans held the festival of Minerva, goddess of war, wisdom, arts, crafts, and sciences, on this day. Minerva is often depicted with a sheath of armor and helmet; her sacred creature is an owl, symbolizing ancient wisdom.
