| abstract | - The Greek goddess Athena (spelled in Greek as Ἀθηνᾶ and Ἀσάνα, in the manga and the anime adaptation respectively, and occasionally as Ἀθάνα in both) is one of the main characters in the Manga Saint Seiya, authored by Masami Kurumada, and later adapted to Anime. A character with a substantial importance in the universe of Saint Seiya, she was created by Kurumada based on the mythological persona of the same name. As in Greek mythology, she is the goddess of wisdom and heroic endeavor, and daughter of Zeus. In Kurumada's mythos, she is sent to Earth by the Olympian gods every 250 years, when evil takes over Earth. Her mission during every one of her incarnations is to restore peace and bring hope, destroy the agent of evil and protect Earth. To do so, she has been assisted since the age of myth by an army of 88 youths of great strength and courage, whose fists rend the skies and whose kicks split the earth, who don radiant holy armor called Cloths, and who are known as the Saints of Athena. Athena is said to be by birthright the goddess of battle, but she does not believe in conquest and only fought defensive wars. She hates weapons, and thus only allows her Saints to battle using their bodies and armors. The only Saint allowed to wield weapons is the Libra Gold Saint, and it is only with her permission that the Saints are allowed to brandish the weapons kept by the Libra Saint. She has opposed the ambitions of antagonist deities since the age of myth in Greece, earning herself the rejection of the other Olympian gods. She has especially had a long-standing conflict with the god of the Underworld, Hades. During her 20th century incarnation she uses the name Saori Kido(城戸 紗織Kido Saori) as her civilian identity. In the English-language version of the manga and the edited anime she is known as Princess Sienna. Athena was introduced by Masami Kurumada in chapter 1 of his manga Saint Seiya, contained in vol. 1, as the mythical Greek goddess, and in chapter 3 of vol.1 as Saori Kido; and she first appeared in the anime adaptation in episode 1. She is an extremely beautiful, short young woman with a perfectly proportionated body, who radiates elegance, wisdom and serenity, and is followed and protected very dedicatedly by her Saints, who would never hesitate to do anything for her sake, even sacrificing their lives gladly. In his manga, Kurumada gave her light brown hair; in the anime adaptation, her hair color is purple.

Naturally, this brought the emergence of many rivalries between Athena and other Olympians during the Mythological Era. When Zeus, for unknown reasons, decided to abandon Mankind and the mortal Universe, and isolate himself atop the highest Heavens, he chose a successor to become the God who'd rule over men. However, said God was neither Hades nor Poseidon, much less any other God of comparable age, but rather the young Athena. Now, with Humanity bestowed upon her, Athena became the Patron Goddess of the Earth and Protector of Mankind, and has ever since opposed all those who seek to claim it for themselves and bring the end to it all. She is the Goddess of Hope, fighting alongside her army of Saints int the name of Love and Justice on the Earth.
