Athena is known to be kind, generous, and loyal to those who worshiped the gods well, but is cold ruthless on those who dare defy the gods, like the mortal Arachne, who claimed she was a better weaver than Athena, even when it was the goddess who had invented the loom. The two had a weaving contest, and Athena won, then punished Arachne by turning her into a spider. Although she detests disloyal mortals, there is one god in particular who she can't stand: Poseidon, god of the sea. She once found him in her sacred temple with his girlfriend (Medusa), and turned her into the hideous monster she is known as today. Also, they had a rivalry over the ciy of Athens, both competing to be the patron of the city. She won, and he was left bitter.

Would Athena have punished Arachne if Arachnes tapestry had glorified the gods?
No; Arachne's crime was boasting herself better then the goddess Athena in the task of weaving. She did not believe that the goddess had "taught her" or given her the gift of weaving; all talents are god given to the ancient Greeks. She wanted to have contest with Athena - and when Athena in the form of a old matron warned against it, indeed would have forgiven her if she had given the goddess her due respect - Arachne forced Athena to act. She further slighted the gods by making her tapestry a mocking of them.

Aphrodite the ancient Greek goddess lured the young Prince of Troy with the promise that the most beautiful woman on earth would fall in love with him if he would select her in the competition that Hera and Athena participated offering her the golden apple. Paris offered the golden apple to Aphrodite and she in return assisted him to seduce Helen of Sparta wife of Menelaus King of Sparta while he was a guest of the King. His act was an insult to the King and the ethics of hospitality which lead to the ten year war of Greeks against Trojans. The result was the destroy of Troy and the deaths of many heroes on both Greek and Trojan armies. The story is successfully presented in the epic poem of Iliad writen by Όμηρος/ Homer the famous Greek poet.

Athena was kind, loyal, and caring. I have studied her a long time. She is normally VERY peaceful and serene but very protective.
