Title	Athena Parthenos
Description	11' tall resin sculpture; According to Greek mythology, Athena was born from the head of Zeus, Chief of all the gods. She is known as the goddess of wisdom, prudence, warfare, and the arts. The original sculpture was created by Phidias in the 5th century B.C. and was formed from plates of gold and ivory affixed to a wooden frame. The statue was recreated in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1882, by Alan LeQuire. Athena stands almost 42 feet tall. Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands in Athena's outstretched right palm; her left hand and arm support a 17 foot shield and 36 foot spear.
