Apollo and Athena are brother and sister - or at least half-brother. Apollo was born from one of Zeus' many adulteries (with Leto), Athena was born out of Zeus' head after he had swallowed Metis who was pregnant with his daughter.

Also Athena is the goddess of wisdom, and Apollo the god of true prophecy - so they have a common interest.

In many of the Greek myths Athena and Apollo are natural allies, ganging up as the two unruly kids annoyed by the conservatism and killjoy attitude of Zeus and Hera (father and stepmother).

The Greek gods are remarkably like any other dysfunctional first family.
