The name literally means Protectress and refers to the goddess Athene (Athena).
The thirty foot statue atop the Akropolis (Acropolis) at Athens was called Athene Promakhos; designed by the legendary sculptor, Phidias; sailors could see Athene’s upraised golden sword before they could see any other landmark as they approached Athens from the sea.
