Need some knowledge for a test? Want to become wiser in life? Lay your head down on a pillow inspired by Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, from Greek mythology.

In Ancient Greece the tetradrachms were a popular coin stamped on one side with Athena’s head and on the reverse the owl of Athena. Due to the owl’s association with the Goddess it has become a symbol of knowledge and wisdom.
