2014 Owl of Athena Corn Maze

Our obsession with Greek mythology was by no means sated with the Icarus maze of 2011. In 2014 we just had to journey back into the same theme, however, with a totally different spin.

Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare and handicraft, while her symbols include owls and olive trees. The Parthenon, in Athens, was originally a temple dedicated to Athena. Thus, all these elements were included in the design for the maze .Throughout the maze is other complex imagery, such as impossible triangles and platonic solids.

All this comes together to create a maze for which you likely will need the goddess Athena on your side to help conquer.
