What is a symbol of Athena?
Her most well known symbols are the owl and olive tree. Strangly enough, the owl is her symbol because it looks intellegent, and what better bird for the god of wisdom. The olive tree is the symbol because Athena and Poseidon fought over who got named after a city. Athena won by giving mortals an olive tree. Argo that's how Athens got its name. I hope this helps and good luck (:
What was Acropolis made for?
To show their recognition to Athena, to thank her for her olive tree and ownership of her new city Athens.
