Hello. I'm a brand-new member. It appears to me that this image contains something that is definitely not from 500 BC. There is a cartoon face on Athena's chest. --Kintu-li (talk) 19:32, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It's a en:Gorgoneion, representing Medusa's head. See for instance File:Gorgoneion Cdm Paris 320.jpg. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 19:44, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not only definetly from this time :) - it is also one of the clear signs, that shows it is Athena. Jastrow said the rest what's needed already. Marcus Cyron (talk) 19:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
