What Are the Roles of Owls in Mythology?
Owls play an important role in the mythology
of many cultures around the world. In mythology, they can be companions
to the gods, evil spirits, wise observers or the embodiment of natural
forces. In many cultures, owls are messengers of death or otherwise
associated with the powers of the underworld. This negative connotation
my arise from the fact that owls are nocturnal; animals that are active
at night often have negative roles in myth and folklore.
The most famous owls in mythology are probably those associated with Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, patron deity of the city of Athens. Artists depicted Athena with an
owl
on one shoulder. Owls may have been connected to the goddess because of
their ability to see well at night and their large eyes, which evoked
her epithet, "bright-eyed Athena." As a result of this association, owls
continue to be symbols of wisdom in the Western world. One genus of
owls retains the name "Athene."
Mythology from other parts of the world often give owls a more
sinister role. Although the Romans adopted many elements of Greek
religion, Roman folklore also featured dangerous
owl-like
creatures that could suck out the life force of an infant. Similarly,
in Arabian mythology, owls were birds of ill omen. Legend had it that
owls would hoot over the graves of murdered men, and their eggs were
thought to have supernatural properties. Similar beliefs are known to
exist or have existed in sub-Saharan Africa, where owls play the role of
harbingers of death or bringers of ill luck.
In South and Central America, owls are again connected with death and
the underworld. In Mayan mythology, Xibalba, "the place of fear," is
ruled by two death gods, Hun-Came ("One Death") and Vucub-Came ("Seven
Death"). Their messengers are four spirits who take the shape of owls.
Similarly, the Aztec god Mictlantecuhtli, god of the dead, appears as a
skeleton wearing a headdress of
owl feathers.
The Native American nations of North America had a wide variety of different roles for owls in their mythology. In some cultures, the
owl
played the role of a messenger from the underworld, while in others,
such as the Sioux, it was a guardian which protected the entrance to the
afterlife. The Passamaquoddy nation told a story in which the bird was a
helpful spirit that provided humans with magical gifts.
