I bet it was me who said it. I know for a fact that Athena was one of the very first things I thought of as a possible I.D. for Hexe.
At least partially, oddly enough, because of of the Greek nationality of Silverbolt. I don't know why, but I'm pretty sure I transposed something there. I know they're not the same character!
Anyway, Hexe would make a much better Athena than the one in Saint Seiya. I like the character in SS, but she's NOT Pallas Athena!
BTW, ever seen a little indie comic that was picked up and published by Antartic Press called Athena? It literally was the Greek Pantheon, but in a Cyberpunk future and mostly "demoted" by their successors. Athena in that version has a cybernetic arm, the circumstances of which only come out late in the comic's run.

Legolas - Obviously an Elvish word meaning "Gatling Gun".
