Athena is the daughter of Zeus and, depending on which myth you look to, the daughter of Metis, goddess of prudence, or of Zeus alone. In any case, she was born fully grown and in full armor when Hephaestus split Zeus’s skull open to relieve him of a headache. She was a great inventor – the chariot is credited to her.

Athena’s symbols include the owl and the olive tree, which she created in a contest with Poseidon for the city of Athens.

Members of the House of the Olive tend to be wise and ingenuitive, and act purposefully.
