CALLING ALL OWLS!
We have decided to extend the closing date for the latest Athena’s Owls competition to the 10th January: all you need is some paper and pens or pencils to design your person version of Achilles’ famous shield, complete with the people, places, and things that are important to you! Will your shield showcase your family, pets, or even your favourite hobbies? Whatever you choose is entirely up to you – we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
To enter, send us a photo of your shield (.jpg or .png format) through our entry form here: https://forms.gle/vvsW8CnKJSPcEeSb7.
If you’re in need of some inspiration, you can now read our version of the myth of Achilles’ shield here, or keep reading for the some designs by the Athena’s Owls team and full competition details.
Here’s our very simple version of Achilles’ shield, redesigned to feature our very own Owl! 
Here’s another version of Achilles’ shield based on the version in our story – can you recognise the constellation in the centre?
