The serpent and the rod, are archaic symbols of life, and are still used today. It is worth mentioning that the Goddess of snakes of the Middle-Minoan Crete, is at the same time the life-giver and the nurturer, the Goddess of birth, death and rebirth. The topless statues representing her and found in the temple of Knossos, emphasize the elements of fertility, while snakes wrap her arms, chest and head.","brand":"Silver Gold-Plated","offers":[{"title":"Silver \/ 50","offer_id":32489141338167,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 51","offer_id":32489141370935,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 52","offer_id":32489141403703,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 53","offer_id":32489141436471,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 54","offer_id":32489141469239,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 55","offer_id":32489141502007,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 56","offer_id":32489141534775,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 57","offer_id":32489141567543,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 58","offer_id":32489141600311,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 59","offer_id":32489141633079,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 60","offer_id":32489141665847,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 61","offer_id":32489141698615,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 62","offer_id":32489141731383,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 63","offer_id":32489141764151,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Adjustable","offer_id":40108879478839,"sku":"2006002504S","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 50","offer_id":46478560821577,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 51","offer_id":46478560854345,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 52","offer_id":46478560887113,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 53","offer_id":46478560919881,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 54","offer_id":46478560952649,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 55","offer_id":46478560985417,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 56","offer_id":46478561018185,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 57","offer_id":46478561050953,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 58","offer_id":46478561083721,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 59","offer_id":46478561116489,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 60","offer_id":46478561149257,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 61","offer_id":46478561182025,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 62","offer_id":46478561214793,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 63","offer_id":46478561247561,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Adjustable","offer_id":46478561280329,"sku":"2006002504GP","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/6718\/7255\/files\/17_bb084ba4-6370-45d9-bcd1-e2f1ff5d784d.jpg?v=1725971858"},{"product_id":"owl-relief","title":"Athenian Owl Relief in Ceramic","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandcrafted owl relief made by a Greek artist.

According to the Ancient Greek mythology, Peristera (Dove) was a Nymph in the Aphrodite sequence. Her transformation was the outcome of a game between Aphrodite and Eros, into which Peristera approached uninvited. One day, Aphrodite and Eros were having fun picking flowers, and they were even competing as to who would collect more. The Goddess let Eros win, but Peristera intervened to help her and Aphrodite won in the end. Eros became angry for losing the game, and transformed the Nymph into a dove. Yet, Aphrodite established the dove as her favourite bird. Often in pottery painting, Aphrodite appears with doves, while their presence indicates a love affair. Also, the doves were used in Ancient Greece to announce the results of the Olympic games.

But Athena, except for being the Goddess of prudence and wisdom, she was also the Goddess of war, hence the owl became the protector which accompanied the Greek army into the war.

The people of Athens, believed that the Goddess often transformed into an owl when she wanted to appear to them. The owl also protected the Athenian trade, and Athenians honoured it by printing its figure on some of the coins.
