I Love Greek Mythology



This is a lifesize recreation of Athena’s statue and temple located in Nashville, TN. I would love to go visit this one day.

Random question... But why the goddess of an European country's ancient, dead mythology... in modern USA? This makes no sense to me, as an outsider. Not bashing, just honestly interested and curious in my ignorance.

@Solenya This may answer your question.

@SW-User Interesting indeed. I would have thought to see this in Greece or somewhere in EU perhaps, but 'merica really does have it all 🤣

@Solenya Because Nashville was at one point a cultural and intellectual hub (strange I know) and acquired the nickname "The Athens of the South".
@OggggO Intriguing 🤔
