From her origin as an Aegean palace goddess, Athena is closely associated with the city. The Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis is dedicated to her, along with numerous other temples and monuments. Her main festival in Athens where she lives is the Panathenaia, which was celebrated during the month of Hekatombaion in midsummer and is the most important festival on the Athenian calendar. Athena is thought to be a "protector of heroes" and a "patron of art" and various local traditions related to the arts and handicrafts. She is the goddess of love and passion. She is the daughter of Zeus god of thunder, produced without a mother, and emerged full-grown from his forehead.
