My experience with lady Athena:

Athena is very dear and near to my heart. She is one of the very first deities I worshipped when I first got into Hellenic paganism. Throughout all these years, she watched me grow and learn become more comfortable and confident in my practice. If I make mistakes, she is patient, If I’m going through rough times, she listens to me, puts her hand firmly but gently on my shoulder to reassure me that things will be fine, and to my heart, she always brings peace and serenity with her presence, as well as clarity of the mind. And in times of comfort, she is always near. Her presence in my life is one of my greatest blessings that I don’t take for granted. If you feel drawn to connect with her, then go ahead, she is caring, protective of her loved ones, patient, and generally a wonderful goddess to work with.

so how about that theory that Odysseus' red eyes in Six Hundred Strike mean Ares is helping him out on behalf of Athena, huh?
