Our name
The ancient Greeks believed that the Little Owl ‘Athene Noctua’ was the earthly form of the Goddess Athene. Legend has it that, during a particularly heated battle that was going badly for the Greeks, a Little Owl was seen to fly over the battlefield.
The Greek soldiers, seeing this as a sign that Athene was favouring their struggle, redoubled their efforts and won the day. From then on, a very astute General kept a box of Little Owls in reserve, ready to release them and repeat the effect should the fight turn against his men.
As a company, we aim to embrace the wisdom of the owl, the creative thinking of the Greek General and the determination of his armies to achieve our own – and our clients’ – objectives.
