Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, justice, law, strategy, commerce, and the arts. She is usually accompanied with her sacred creature, the “owl of Minerva”, which has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, aptitude and transformation. The Owl of Minerva was invoked by the 19th-century German philosopher Hegel at the end of the Preface to the Philosophy of Right: “The owl of Minerva takes its flight only when the shades of night are gathering.”
