greek sculptures hellenistic
why are there no hellenistic greek sculptures of athena?

I have searched for sculptures of the Greek Goddess Athena and haven’t found any. I’m thinking that the sculptors at the time didn’t depict her in that style, or thought she should look a certain way and thought “She would never be depicted in that style.” Why’s this?

There are actually a lot of sculptures of her.
This page lists a lot: http://www.goddess-athena.org/Museum/Sculptures/

You are right in that there are a lot of different ways sculptors thought she should look, depending on what aspect of her persona they were trying to convey. Wikipedia has a list of different “types” that she has appeared as in sculpture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Athena_types
