Phevos and Athena - Athens 2004
Phevos and Athena, the official Athens 2004 mascots, are brother
and sister. Their creation was inspired by an ancient Greek doll and their names
are linked to Ancient Greece, yet the two siblings are children of modern
times.
The names are of two Olympian gods: Phevos, the god of light and music, known
as Apollo; and Athena, goddess of wisdom and patron of the city of Athens.
Phevos and Athena represent the link between Greek history and the modern
Olympic Games.
