This article would do well to better source some of its claims. For instance, who credits Athena as SNK's most popular character? Which fan guides (and why) claim that Athena goes to school with Kyo Kusanagi? Etc. -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.119.168.145 ( talk • contribs).

According to Japanese source ja:麻宮アテナ and ja:アテナ (ゲーム), the KOF Athena who came from the game Psycho Soldier, is a descendant of the original Athena. This was set when SNK developed the game Psycho Soldier. And when they developed KOF '94, they took the Psycho Soldier Athena as Athena Asamiya, not the original one. The SVC Chaos Athena is the original Athena, but not the Psycho Soldier Athena.
ancestor | original Athena | = | SVC Chaos Athena |
x | x | ||
descendant | Psycho Soldier Athena | = | KOF Athena Asamiya |
It's not a myth that people are confused. Before '94 they both are known only as Athena. But Japanese source identifies their statuses.
The original Athena is a princess of the Victory Kingdom, and a guardian of Heaven World in the SVC Chaos and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum storyline. She found herself superpowerful in the Fantasy World and defeated the evil emperor Dante who dominated there. So she could be considered as a semi-deity. And her image is an adaptation of the goddess Athena with many Greek mythic elements.
The Psycho Soldier Athena is basically a human with psycho power, which is explained by Japanese source it's from her ancestor. And her family don't have any of it. This makes sense the KOF Athena is not as superhuman as a deity, but rather a high school girl with certain super power, like Kyo succeeds the Kusanagi's fire power. It also explains why nobody in SVC Chaos mistakes the heavenly Athena for Athena Asamiya, but some does Dan Hibiki for Robert Garcia.
By the way, people continue assuming SNK's Athena was inspired by Saint Seiya because the similar plots. There is no evidence to prove it. SVC Chaos Athena's exceed move like "Pegasus Fantasy" or "Bow of the Judgement" are actually based on the equippable items in the original Athena game. One of those is named "Wings of Pegasus" and another is a crossbow. Other exceed moves are also based on the original Athena game. And they are essentiality based on Greek mythology. So it's of course similar to the contents of Saint Seiya. But both works made their debuts in the same year, and Saint Seiya manga took about a year to reveal goddess' secret identity. When SNK released the Athena game, the Athena in Saint Seiya was yet not struck by arrow. So the manga shoud have nothing to do with any SNK's Athena, period. -- Mato Rei 13:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
All the complete info bringed by Mato Rei makes me think about split Princess Athena to her own article, leaving this only for the KOF character and then avoid future confusions. Basara-kun 03:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I found two previews that I've added above. With a few reviews we could make a full article. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 19:03, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Harizotoh9: I had no idea that game was localized. Sadly, I don't have knowledge of that game so I can't help. Tintor2 ( talk) 19:44, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
This is the first I've heard that she has a 13 part tv series. This seems to be the most significant appearance outside of games. It should warrant a bigger section of the article. I saw a tweet with print media sources on the show, but it has since been deleted. Google cache however kept the thumbnails. They are readable, but there's no information on the source (date, publication, etc).
