Small Athena

myminifactory

This Roman reproduction showcases a massive bronze statue crafted during the latter half of the 5th century BC. It draws inspiration from the colossal Athena statue standing proudly inside the Parthenon in Athens. The lost original bronze masterpiece has often been credited to the skilled Greek sculptor Crésilas, a pupil of the renowned Phidias. This miniature replica is incomplete, lacking its head, arms, and lower extremities. Athena, daughter of Métis and Zeus, takes center stage as the embodiment of reason, guiding intelligence that complements the physical prowess of heroes. As the guardian of Athens, she extends her protection to cities worldwide.
