<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9466379, member: 78949"]True, Athena is not depicted bare-breast and without war gear but IMO this is the closest explanation at these evidences. And who knows what the maker knew about Athena.... The bird to me looks much more like an owl than anything else, although indeed somehow hybrid. Don't know any other bird species with such circles around the eyes, and they are explicitly well rendered on this cameo. </p><p>But it could be some lady with an owl, then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
