Is the Swastika a Symbol of a Greek Goddess?

No. The swastika (or gammadion/tetraskelion) appears in ancient Greek art as a geometric decorative motif on pottery, architecture, and coins—but it is not associated with any specific Greek goddess.

The symbol has deep roots in:

  • Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism – auspicious, spiritual symbol (millennia-old)
  • Indo-European cultures – solar, cyclical meanings
  • Nazi Germany (1920–1945) – appropriated as party emblem (hakenkreuz)

In Greece, the gammadion appears in Minoan, Mycenaean, and Classical periods as ornament, not divine attribute. No ancient text links it to Athena, Hera, Artemis, or any deity.
