Western culture

In Western culture, owls are synonymous with wisdom and knowledge. The wise owl appears in everything from “The Iliad” to “Winnie the Pooh” and college mascots like the Temple Owls. Cartoon owls wearing caps and gowns appear on graduation cards, and owls in reading spectacles are regularly spotted on signs for libraries and bookstores. In Greek and Roman mythology, owls were associated with education, intellect and magic, probably because of their wide eyes, solemn expression and ability to see through darkness.
