Athena was the Greek goddess of Wisdom. She was often invoked by the Amazon Queen, Hippolyta.
History
Athena was a goddess especially revered by the Amazons. The main temple of Themyscira was built in her honor. Her own magic armor was located there until Diana stole it for her travel to "Man's World".
