The Goddess Athena is a goddess of war strategy, she disliked fighting without purpose and preferred to use wisdom to settle predicaments. The goddess only encouraged fighting for a reasonable cause or to resolve a conflict. The bird which sees well in the night is closely associated with the goddess of wisdom: in archaic images, Athena is frequently depicted with an owl named the Glaucus (or "owl of Athena" ) perched on her hand. Unsurprisingly, the owl became a sort of Athenian mascot. Even now the owl is upheld as a symbol of keen insight and great knowledge.
