Athena (Immortals)

Athena is a supporting protagonist of the 2011 fantasy action film Immortals and she is based on the deity of the same name. She is the Goddess of Wisdom and War and the daughter of Zeus who has a fondness for humankind, something which her father is lacking. Even though Zeus forbids her from interfering in the mortal world, she tries her best to assist Theseus on his journey to stop King Hyperion.
She was portrayed by Isabel Lucas.
== History ==
Before mankind walked on Earth, immortal beings discovered that they could kill each other and thus, a war erupted between them. The victors called themselves "gods" and lived in luxury on Mount Olympus while the losing side were renamed "Titans" and were banished to the bowels of Mount Tartarus as punishment. 
Years later, King Hyperion plans to wage war on Greece and the gods by retrieving the Epirus Bow, an extremely powerful weapon lost in the great battle of the heavens and kills all who stand in his way. Athena, empathetic for mankind and seeing the pain inflicted by Hyperion, believes the gods should intervene and stop them but her father Zeus, the King of the gods, refuses and thinks they should not interfere with mortal affairs. Zeus has a strong affection towards her and is very protective of her.
Athena is joined by her brothers (Ares, Apollo and Heracles) on Mount Olympus as well as her uncle Poseidon as she describes the destruction of Hyperion and his quest bringing him closer to the bow, using her godly gift of wisdom. Poseidon and Ares wish to intervene but Zeus reiterates that the law of the gods states they cannot become involved unless the Titans are released. Zeus tells them the punishment for interfering in the affairs of mankind is death, should they defy him.
Later, when Theseus is in danger, Ares insists that Poseidon should help and Athena tells him that if Zeus suspects foul play, that they will come to his defence. He agrees and uses his power over the oceans to save him.
Theseus is once again in peril after falling into an ambush by Hyperion. Athena and her brother, Ares descend from Mount Olympus, with Ares killing several of Hyperion's guards and Athena summoning two horses to help Theseus and his comrades travel to Tartarus to stop Hyperion. However, Zeus arrives and is furious by his children's betrayal. Athena begs for forgiveness while Ares explains he only broke the law to protect the mortal. Zeus kills Ares in-front of her and she is later seen mourning her brother's death at his funeral.
When Hyperion is successful in freeing the Titans, Athena arrives with Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo and Heracles to defeat them. She fights valiantly using the full force of her skills as the Goddess of War and use of twin sickle blade. In the end she is overpowered by several Titans who take her sickles and slay her with them. Zeus comes to her aid as she bleeds out and she begs him not to give up hope for mankind.
She dies shortly afterwards and Zeus in his rage, brings the entirety of Mount Tartarus crashing down upon the Titans to kill them once and for all. He picks up the body of his deceased daughter and in a bright light, transports them back to Mount Olympus.
