The Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena called Minerva by the Romans) is represented as a rational, intelligent young and strong woman who is not only a powerful defender in war but also a potent peace maker. We have selected the colour Green for the Athena House as, according to a story, both Poseidon Athena wanted to possess Athens. The gods resolved that whichever of them produced a gift wanted to possess Athens.

The gods resolved that whichever of them produced a gift more useful for humans should have possession of land. Poseidon produced the horse while Athena produced Olive which was thought to be more useful. She is hence considered the protectress of agriculture which is symbolized by the colour, green.
