The Athena Promachos was a colossal bronze statue of Athena sculpted by Pheidias, which stood between the Propylaea and the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens. Athena was the tutelary deity of Athens and the goddess of wisdom and warriors. Pheidias also sculpted two other figures of Athena on the Acropolis, the huge gold and ivory cult image of Athena Parthenos in the Parthenon and the Lemnian Athena.
The designation Athena Promachos is not attested before a dedicatory inscription of the early fourth century CE; Pausanias referred to it as "the great bronze Athena" on the Acropolis.
