Did Athena punish her brother?
Athena did not have a brother by her mother Metis; if you mean by Zeus, he had many sons.
How did Athena punish people?
She was generally a nice Goddess, rarely punishing anyone. However, she did lose her temper sometimes. There was Arachne, a weaver, and she claimed to weave better than Athena. They then had a "weave-off" and what Arachne weaved sort of made fun of the Gods. This made Athena mad, and Athena insulted her. Then, Arachne hung herself. After feeling very bad, Athena turned her into a spider so she could always weave. Once, Tiresias saw Athena naked after a bath, and she blinded him. However, she felt sorry for him, so she gave him the capability to see the future. So, you see, Athena gets mad, realizes it was a bit too much, and alters it a bit. There was also Medusa, who Athena turned into a monster because she was too proud and full of herself.
What were Athena's flaws?
It does vary from myth to myth. But of all other faults, it is Athena's pride that lead to trouble. When Arachne, a beautiful young woman, claimed she could weave as well as Athena could, they had a contest. When Athena won, she turned Arachne into a giant spider for her boastfulness. Arachne may have been boastful, but she did not deserve such a harsh punishment. She is also too cold and calculating. Sometimes she does not seem to care if someone is harmed, or even killed, if it means the fulfillment of her plans. She is quick to judge and punish.
