Athena, also known as Saori Kido, is a central character in the Saint Seiya anime series, also known as Knights of the Zodiac. She is the reincarnation of the Greek goddess Athena, tasked with protecting the Earth from various threats.

Saori Kido first appears in the initial episodes of the anime, presented as the adopted granddaughter of Mitsumasa Kido, who secretly trained the Bronze Saints. She's initially portrayed as a somewhat spoiled and aloof young woman, unaware of her true identity and divine purpose.

As the series progresses, Saori awakens to her powers and responsibilities as Athena. She guides and supports the Saints in their battles, providing them with Cosmo and strategic direction. Athena's character arc involves her growing into a compassionate and courageous leader, fully embracing her role as the protector of peace and justice on Earth. Her Cosmo is what protects the Saint's from death and defeat.
