Athena Athena resides in the Parthenon – Nashville, TN. A replica of the Greek goddess Athena, holding the goddess Nike, the goddess of victory in her right hand. Sculpted by Alan Lequire, Athena is 42’ tall and is the tallest indoor sculpture in the western hemisphere. The sculpture was completed in 1990 but the gilding was not done until 2002. We are proud to be part of the gilding team for Athena. Gilded in 23.75 karat gold is as close as historians & archaeologists believe she originally appeared. The relief at the base of the sculpture depicts the different Egyptian gods of mythology, and are also gilded in 23.75 karat leaf. For more information visit the Parthenon’s website at: http://www.nashville.gov/Parthenon/Athena.htm |
