ANY LEGENDS SURROUND the feminine color of green which represents all tangibly growing things on the earth. Athena, the Greek goddess of weaving and war, was famed for her green eyes and green robes, often wearing a green emerald on her breastplate. Sacred to her was the green olive. Green was also the fairies’ color, providing a protective camouflage for hiding in the woods, while mermaids were renowned for their long sea-green hair.
