The origin of the idiom "bring owls to Athens" goes back to ancient Greece, where Athens was known for its large population of owls and for being a center of learning and knowledge. Bringing owls to Athens would be unnecessary since there were already plenty of owls there. Today, the idiom is commonly used to describe a situation where someone is doing something that is redundant or unnecessary, such as bringing something to a place where it is already abundant or adding something that is not needed. The idiom implies that the person's actions are pointless and a waste of time and resources.
