This particular painting references Greek mythology. Athena was the goddess of wisdom, often represented by an owl. Whilst Ares was her counterpart, god of war mongering and blood lust, represented by a dog in renaissance art. Hence this painting can be read as an allegory for wisdom triumphing over aggression. Athena’s mice henchmen reference The Tale of Two Bad Mice by Beatrix Potter, a story of two mice who vandalise a doll’s house.
