Gameplay
Athena's bonuses benefit infantry, especially Hoplites. Her Sarissa technology gives Hoplites an increase in their attack and range, making them stronger. Aegis Shield makes all infantry units more resistant to pierce attacks, such as those by ranged soldiers and buildings. These bonuses synergize nicely with Zeus' bonuses for infantry, as not only do they already move faster under his worship, but they are even stronger against buildings due to the combined bonuses of Zeus' extra damage versus buildings and Athena's technologies giving infantry higher pierce resistance and Hoplites higher attack and range.
Her myth unit, the Minotaur, is a tough melee unit with a strong gore attack that sends its target unit flying. With Labyrinth of Minos, Minotaurs gain more hit points and move even faster, making them more difficult to counter early on.
Restoration, Athena's god power, heals all units and buildings in a wide area. It can be used to press forward an attack with rejuvenated units, or to help a defense in dire need.
Zeus players who follow Athena and then Dionysus in the Heroic Age will have stronger and more durable infantry, especially with his Bronze god power, which can be used in tandem with Restoration to make many of the player's military units even more difficult to kill.
Mythology
"The goddess of wisdom, crafts, justice, and war, she is often associated with a shield for war, the owl for wisdom, or the olive tree. When Athena and Poseidon vied to be the patron of a prominent city, they held a contest to see who could give the city the finest gift. Poseidon provided a well, but it produced salty water. Athena gave the olive tree that provided food, oil, and wood. The city took the name Athens. Athena had a prominent role in Homer's epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, serving as Odysseus' patron throughout his long voyage. In addition to sponsoring warriors and heroes, she introduced many skills necessary for civilization. In an unusual but not unique birth, she sprang from Zeus' head fully grown and ready for battle.
