In Greek mythology, a Little Owl (Athene noctua) traditionally represents or accompanies Athena,
the virgin goddess of wisdom, or Minerva, her syncretic incarnation in Roman mythology.
Because of such association, the bird —often referred to as the "owl of Athena" or the "owl of Minerva"—
has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, perspicacity, and erudition.
