Athene — N. C. Wyeth Odyssey Framed Print (1929)

Athene comes down from Olympus with a spear and a plan, because the men are making a mess of things. Her help sounds a lot like being told to get up and do something.

For someone who needs a fierce, wise presence over their work, or who has been that presence for someone else.

Ready to hang: an 8 × 10 in framed print in a white or black wood frame. At home in a study, above a desk, or as a gift for a mentor or a daughter with ambition.
