Iliad - Athena dons the Aegis
"Meanwhile Athena flung her richly embroidered robe, made with her own hands, on to her father’s threshold, and donned the tunic of Zeus, arming herself for battle. She threw her tasseled aegis about her shoulders, wreathed round with [Fear] as with a fringe, and on it were Strife, and Strength, and Panic whose blood runs cold; moreover there was the head of the dread monster Gorgon, grim and awful to behold, portent of aegis-bearing Zeus.
On her head she set her helmet of gold, with four plumes, and coming to a peak both in front and behind - decked with the emblems of a hundred cities; then she stepped into her flaming chariot and grasped the spear, so stout and sturdy and strong, with which she quells the ranks of heroes who have displeased her."
