Proper rendition of animals
The article incorrectly attributes the animal 'spider' to Athena. These are actually her enemies. The animal that should be there instead is SEA EAGLE. 150.101.252.89 (talk) 02:45, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Image change
Hi I feel like the image should be File:Atena farnese, copia romana da orig. greco della cerchia fidiaca, forse Pyrrhos nel 430 ac ca., 6024, 01.JPG. It's higher quality imo and more famous.Ghost_Cacus (talk) 16:12, 4 July 2023 (UTC)


 * if you're going to suggest another image, please don't expect others to do the work; link to it yourself thus File:Atena farnese, copia romana da orig. greco della cerchia fidiaca, forse Pyrrhos nel 430 ac ca., 6024, 01.JPG. If you claim that it's higher quality and more famous, say why you think it's higher quality and provide some evidence that it's more famous. We don't want to spend time on this, as we have on other image changes that you've made or proposed to no avail, unless you make the effort to gain consensus. NebY (talk) 17:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's more famous because it literally says it's famous on the farnese page. Ghost_Cacus (talk) 17:23, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

The caption of the current image reads, "Mattei Athena at Louvre. Roman copy from the 1st century BC/AD after a Greek original of the 4th century BC attributed to Cephisodotos or Euphranor." But then it would make sense to change the image to that of the Piraeus Athena, as that is the supposed "Greek original" of the Mattei Athena. The Mattei Athena is also said to have "stylistic anomalies" that appear "troublesome". , which would make the Mattei Athena unsuitable as the infobox image. In my opinion, however, it would be better to change it to the Athena Giustiniani, which doesn't suffer from the awkward hand gesture (from the absence of Nike or whatever it is that was supposed to be in the hand) that makes the Mattei, the Firase, and the Piraeus Athena look as if the deity is saying "welp". The Varvakeion Athena would also a far better choice than the Mattei. LittleScroll (talk) 15:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Athena did not get her name from Athens. She and Poseidon had a competition to be the patreon of the city in ancient times. After Athena won with her olive tree, the city was named after her. 178.115.63.234 (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
