Athena is said to be by birthright the goddess of battle, but she didn't 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 by her 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 ages of myth in Greece, earning herself the rejection of the other Olympian gods. She has had specially a long-standing conflict with the god of the Underworld, Hades. During her 20th century incarnation she uses the name Saori Kido as her civilian identity.
In Saint Seiya, Athena reincarnates on Earth when it is consumed by evil. She comes to Earth with her own soul and body, but she usually has no real knowledge of her divine origins or mission, until a certain event triggers those memories and reveals her mission and destiny to her. Every time Athena returns to Earth, the souls of her 88 Saints also reincarnate with her, to assist and protect her in the fulfilling of her mission when the time is ripe.
