Where Will This Knocker Look Best?

This knocker is the ideal choice for an entrance door that is meant to look distinguished, dignified, and noble. It is perfectly suited for homes in a neoclassical, Regency, or Empire style. It will also be a splendid addition to the door of a library, a study, a law office, or any place associated with knowledge, law, and strategic thinking. It sends a clear message that wisdom and intellect reside behind these doors.

Athena – Protector of Cities and Heroes

Athena was one of the most important deities in the Greek pantheon. She was the goddess of wisdom, courage, civilization, law and justice, but also of the arts, crafts, and strategic warfare. Unlike Ares, the god of brute and brutal war, Athena represented the disciplined and intelligent side of conflict. She was the patron of many heroes and, above all, the protector of the city of Athens, which bears her name. Her presence on a door thus symbolizes not just protection, but protection achieved through intelligence and foresight.

Interesting Fact: The Owl and the Olive Tree

Athena's most famous symbols are the owl and the olive tree. According to myth, Athena competed with the sea god Poseidon for the patronage of Athens. Poseidon struck the Acropolis with his trident, and a saltwater spring gushed forth. Athena, in turn, planted the first olive tree. The gods and citizens judged her gift to be more useful to the city, as the olive tree provided food, valuable oil, and wood. Her other famous symbol is the owl, which, with its ability to see in the dark, represents wisdom and knowledge.

What This Knocker Is Definitely Not For
