Athena’s owl update

    How splendid to have been granted another look at this little creature. It does resemble the owl on the Athenian tetradrachma, but the clear light of day reveals — what? — a hint of something more Ionian in its expression?

    I’m glad you returned it to its niche.

    though we have driven them out of their temples,
    the god did not die because of this at all.”
