Lore
In war, there are two kinds of soldiers: those that fight for blood, and those that fight for honor. The first crave the clash of steel and smell of slaughter, the latter know the wisdom of justice, the kindness of mercy, and that life should never be taken wantonly. These different warriors seek different Gods. Ares, God of War revels in the bloodletting, but his sister, Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, is patron to those who fight with dignity, and only when there is no other alternative.
Favored daughter of Zeus, wise as ten thousand scholars, just as the scales themselves; Athena is a paragon of incorruptible virtue, and worshipped with righteous fervor. So revered is she that Athens, greatest city in all the world, is named for her, and regal temples adorn the countryside in her honor, each tended by loyal priestesses. To Athena, a life is a precious thing that need not be wasted in frivolous battle. Bloodthirsty Ares, on the other hand, is reviled by their father and chained by his ravenous subjects.
At the Siege of Troy, Ares disobeyed Zeus and joined with the battle, fighting for the mortal Trojans. Athena rose to stop him, indirectly championing the Greeks, but directly keeping the order of divine law. Their fierce battle clashed in unspeakable proportions, ending only when Ares limped from the battle field, cowed by his sister and rival. With Ares diminished, the tide of the war shifted and the heroes of the Greek Army toppled Troy.
In times of war, prayers are sent to both Gods. Ares, for bloodstained victory, Athena for honor, valor, and the wisdom to fight with dignity. Make no mistake, these are times of war, and Ares has already answered the call to arms. Athena, ever cautious with lives, goes to battle without eagerness, but solemn necessity, for the Goddess of Wisdom knows honor is for the living. The dead have no need of it.

Trivia
- Athena is currently the only female Guardian in SMITE.
- Athena's Winter Olympian skin was made to commemorate the 2014 Russian Winter Olympics, being given for free to anyone who bought Athena's Red Star skin before.
- When the Winter Olympian skin was still obtainable, the main lobby screen for it featured Athena doing a similar warm up to Michelle Jenneke's in the 2012 Barcelona World Junior Championships.
- Athena's Liberté skin references the Second French Revolution.
- Athena's Liberté skin was available for purchase for 1 gem or 1 favor to honor and support France after the November 2015 Paris attacks.
- One of Athena's Killstreak quotes, "I am Rockstar!", is a reference to Athena's VGS voiceline for VER, which is "You is Rockstar!".
- One of Athena's jokes, "It is all Greek to me! No, seriously, it is all Greek.", is a reference to the phrase Greek to me.
- Liberté Athena's God selection quote, "Liberty, equality, fraternity!", is a reference to Haiti's and France's national motto, Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
- One of Liberté Athena's introduction quotes, "Go tell those who sent you, that we are here by the will of the people!", is a reference to a quote made by French Revolutionist Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau.
