Athens does not use arms, but the above logo based on the national arms and with the head of the Goddess Athena after whom the city is named. | Athens does not use arms, but the above logo based on the national arms and with the head of the Goddess Athena after whom the city is named. | ||
Previously the arms of the city were often shown with the goddess dressed as a warrior or just the head of the goddess, but I am not sure whether these have ever been officially granted or adopted. | Previously the arms of the city were often shown with the goddess dressed as a warrior or just the head of the goddess, but I am not sure whether these have ever been officially granted or adopted. | ||
