Unique Olympic Memorabilia: A Pair of Athens 2004 Mascots, 'Athena' and 'Phevos'

A rare opportunity for Olympic collectors! This lot features the complete set of official plush mascots from the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics: Athena and Phevos. These two figures are not just charming souvenirs; they are a direct symbolic link between modern sports and the heart of ancient Greece.

Item Details:
• Names: Athena (sister, in orange) and Phevos (brother, in blue).
• Event: XXVIII Olympiad, Athens, Greece, 2004.
• Inspiration: The mascots' distinctive bell-like shape is inspired by the "daidala," a terracotta doll from the 7th century BC found in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. They represent the connection between Greek history and the modern Games.

Design Significance:
• Athena is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and the city's protector. Her orange tunic is said to evoke the sun and the Paralympic emblem.
• Phevos is named after Apollo (also known as Phoebus), the Olympian god of light and music. His blue tunic recalls the sea and the colour of the Olympic emblem.

Condition: Excellent, original condition with the original tags still attached.

These whimsical and historically significant mascots are a centerpiece for any collection of Olympic memorabilia. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of the Games that returned to their spiritual home!

Place your bid now to bring these mythological siblings home!
