Syracuse, Sicily

 Hippocamp: Hippos (horse) + kampos (sea monster).  Poseidon often drives a chariot drawn by hippocampi. The hippocampus is viewed as a benevolent and spiritual creature. As a mythical creature, it is strongly associated with creativity, imagination, agility, and strength. Sailors regarded the hippocampus as a good omen because it could control the waves and the weather.  
Athena: Athena was Zeus's favorite daughter. She symbolizes wisdom, bravery, and resourcefulness.
