Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and strategy in Saint Seiya, where she is the central divine protector of Earth. Reincarnated in the modern era as Saori Kido, she leads the Bronze Saints in their battles against powerful enemies who threaten humanity and the world. As the main figure the series revolves around, Athena embodies justice, compassion, and leadership, and her presence drives much of the story’s conflict, alliances, and heroic sacrifices.
