Athena
and Pegasus
|
|
|
Athena was one of the most important goddesses in Greek
Mythology. She sprang full-grown and armored from the forehead
of the god Zeus and was his favorite child. The Parthenon,
in Athens, became hers as a result of her gift of the olive
tree to the Athenian people. Athena was primarily the goddess
of the Greek cities, of industry and the Arts, and, in later
mythology, of wisdom; she was also goddess of war. read

The
Ultimate Greek Coin
|
|
|
The
designs on coins are often laden with symbolism. Kings,
queens and presidents have used them to express ideas or
to display their own likeness. The ancient Greeks were notorious
for their love of symbolism, and on this coin of the legendary
Greek king and conqueror, 'Alexander the Great,' we find
some of the best ever produced. read

Herakles
Honored by Philip II
|
|
|
The
front of this coin shows the Greek hero Herakles, who is
better known by the name Hercules, which the Romans gave
him. This coin was struck by Philip II, the father of Alexander
III, "The Great". Herakles was important to their hereditary
line, as they claimed to be descended from the mythological
hero. It is largely based on this fact that, although born
and living mostly in Macedonia, Alexander's family also
claimed to be of full Greek blood. read
