<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 165124, member: 44&quot;]Thinking more about this, you may have hit on something with Athena. She hadn&#039;t entered my mind because of a lack of helmut and shield. She seems to be depicted with those symbols 99% of the time. With this image of them as lovers, her helmut and shield would be off by now! Just to remind people who she was, the maker left her holding the ax/spear. There are art thingies out there of Athena and Mercury together with each all array in their symbols.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bartholomeus_Spranger_-_Hermes_and_Athena_-_WGA21691.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bartholomeus_Spranger_-_Hermes_and_Athena_-_WGA21691.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bartholomeus_Spranger_-_Hermes_and_Athena_-_WGA21691.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-hermathena-fusion-of-mercury-and-athena-16th-century-fresco-by-federico-43168684.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-hermathena-fusion-of-mercury-and-athena-16th-century-fresco-by-federico-43168684.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-hermathena-fusion-of-mercury-and-athena-16th-century-fresco-by-federico-43168684.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://buffaloah.com/a/virtual/italy/pomp/murals.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://buffaloah.com/a/virtual/italy/pomp/murals.html" rel="nofollow">http://buffaloah.com/a/virtual/italy/pomp/murals.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Boy, didn&#039;t they all!</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
