Product description
“Athena: great Olympian goddess of ancient Greek cities. She was the goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, and justice and the favorite child of Zeus, ruler of the gods. Athena sprang to life, fully grown and fully armored. Always involved in the affairs of mortals, Athena guided Odysseus home from the Trojan War and helped Jason and the Argonauts on their epic quest for the Golden Fleece.
Athena’s enduring tale inspires a glorious reinterpretation, Barbie doll as Athena wears a silvery iridescent gown, completed by a flowing ombre chiffon cape and chain belt. The golden breast-plate features images of Athena’s symbol, the owl. An elaborately detailed shield and spear reinforce her fierce reputation. The ancient legend of a mighty goddess is reimagined for today.”
“The fiercely beautiful goddess of wisdom, war and the arts arrives fully armored and prepared to guide the affairs of mere mortals. Doll features ornate headdress, shield, spear, embellished breast plate, woven gown, ombre cape and molded boots. For the adult collector.” (Product description from the Barbie Collector catalog mail letter- as seen below in the “Notes” section).
This doll was a Gold Label Collector release, and was a Limited Edition of 5,300. It is the third and final doll released in the Goddess Series.
