Mission  Why do we use Athena's image in our logo? Athena was the daughter of Zeus and Metis. Fearing the known prophecy that Metis would give birth to a child wiser than him, Zeus ate his pregnant wife. One day, when Zeus was suffering from terrible headache, he asked Hephaestus, the god of artisans, for help with smashing Zeus' head with an axe. Hephaestus did as he was told and from inside of Zeus head jumped out Athena in full armour. Stern and brave in battles, Athena fought only to defend the state and home against enemies from outside. She was the goddes of cities, craft and household. She invented the bridle, so men could start taming horses, a trumpet, a flute, a pot, a rake, a plow, a yoke, a ship. She was also a patron of various arts. She was the impersonation of wisdom, reason and purity.
