4. Athena

One of the most notable Greek gods is Athena, the daughter of Zeus. The Ancient Greeks believed her to be the god of wisdom, courage, and war, for which she's most linked. According to Greek mythology, Athena was born from Zeus's forehead. As one story tells, Zeus swallowed her mother, Metis, whole, worried that she would birth a child more powerful than he. Although Metis was nowhere to be found, the child was still born. Athena is also the goddess of law and justice, and so is depicted outside of many law courts around the globe.
