The Angelitos-Athena is an ancient marble statue dating from around 480 BC. Was created.

It was dedicated by Angelitos, from whom it also had the nickname, and signed by Euenor on the column on which it presumably stood, but this is not undisputed. She was found under the Persian rubble on the Acropolis in Athens , and the Kritios boy and the calf carrier were found nearby . The figure wears the Aigis and is dressed in the archaic peplos . It is believed that she once held a shield and a spear , but these have not survived. It is preserved as a torso with a height of 0.77 m. It is located in the Acropolis Museum Inv. 140
