Cette statue de la déesse Athéna se trouve dans le parc Athéna, un petit parc dans le quartier Park Extension de l'arrondissement Villeray – Saint-Michel – Parc-Extension de Montréal, Québec.

La statue a été offerte aux Montréalais en mars 2000, par le maire d'Athènes, à l'occasion de la fête de l'indépendance de la Grèce, pour souligner les liens d'amitié qui unissent les deux villes.

Athéna est l’une des figures les plus connues du panthéon grec. Fille de Zeus, sœur d’Apollon, elle est l’amie et la conseillère des héros Achille, dans l’Iliade, et Ulysse, dans l’Odyssée. Figure guerrière, elle est née tout armée et déjà adulte, Athéna est la déesse des armées, mais également la déesse de la justice, de la sagesse et des arts. Elle offre son protectorat aux artisans et elle patronne les travaux féminins. En plus d’avoir donné son nom à la ville d’Athènes, Athéna incarne la civilisation grecque.

*********************************************************************

This statue of Athena is located in the Athena Park, a small park in the Park Extension neighborhood of the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough of Montreal, Quebec.

The statue was presented as a gift to Montréal in March 2000 by the mayor of Athens, on the occasion of the celebration of independence of Greece, to underline the friendship ties that link the two cities.

Athena is one of the best-known figures in the Greek pantheon. Zeus’s daughter and Apollo’s sister, she was the friend of and advisor to the heroes Achilles, in the Iliad, and Ulysses, in the Odyssey. A warrior figure, she was born fully armed and already adult. Athena was the goddess of war, but also of justice, wisdom, and the arts. She offered her protection to artisans and was the patron of women’s work. In addition to having given her name to the city of Athens, Athena embodies Greek civilization.
