Who knows who is the guardian of peace in Greek mythology?

It's Athena

A goddess symbolizing wisdom and war.

Athena is one of the twelve gods of Olympus in Greece, and the Roman name is Minerva. In ancient mythology, Athena was a goddess, the master of dark clouds and thunder, the goddess of fertility, the protector of peaceful labor and Sivir. She teaches people to domesticate cows and horses, and to make cars and boats. She gave the world plows and rakes, spindles and looms, so she was regarded as the protector of women's labor, especially knitting technology. She has a nickname, Ergane, which means female worker. She is also the protector of science and the goddess of wisdom; She endowed human beings with laws and maintained social order.

Legend has it that Zeus was born with the goddess of wisdom, Metis. Because Caia predicted that Metis's child would overthrow Zeus, Zeus swallowed her whole, so Zeus got a serious headache. All the mountain gods, including Apollo, tried to treat him effectively, and the result was in vain. Zeus, the father of gods and mankind, had to ask hephaestus, the god of fire, to open his head. The Vulcans did it. To the surprise of the Olympians, an elegant and determined goddess came out of the cracked head, radiant and graceful. It is said that she has the general strength of Zeus, and if combined with the innate strength of Egers, her strength will surpass all the gods of Olympus. She is the cleverest goddess and the perfect combination of wisdom and strength. She is Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, the patron saint of Athens.

Patron saint

Athena won the battle with Poseidon by giving Athenian citizens an olive tree and became the patron saint of Athens. Today, the Parthenon in the Acropolis is dedicated to her.
