Why is the necklace named Athena?

Athena is the Olympian goddess of wisdom and war and the adored patroness of the city of Athens. A virgin deity, she was also – somewhat paradoxically – associated with peace and handicrafts, especially spinning and weaving. She was essentially urban and civilized goddess of the outdoors. Athena was probably a pre-Hellenic goddess and was later taken over by the Greeks. In the Iliad, Athena is the divine form of the heroic, martial ideal: she personifies excellence in close combat, victory, and glory. Athena became the goddess of crafts and skilled peacetime pursuits in general. She ultimately became allegorized to personify wisdom and righteousness was a natural development of her patronage of skill.
