Yes, Greek. I guess AOE is greek for owl, because it's on a number of coins and figurines from Athens that bear the image of an owl.
Not found this particular figurine, though, but without a maker's mark there's not much to go on.

If that is tourist tat, I'll take a holiday to your house and buy it as a cheap souvenir of my visit. I love it
