Introduction

The goddess mythology is the super natural creature and immortal being in the conventional and religion myths. It represents the everlastingly qualities of the feminine which pattern the lives of the women.

For instance, the Goddess Iris was depicted with the bird and considered as timorous dove that had beautiful wings and worked as the messenger. Moreover, the Goddess Athena was the goddess of wisdom and peace which caused her to be symbolized as the owl (Kirsch, 1999).
