Athena (アテナ, Atena) is a platform arcade game, produced and published in 1986 by SNK. It was later ported to the NES. The NES version was developed by Micronics. Only the NES version has been released in North America. Conversions were done for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC in 1987 by Ocean Software under their Imagine label. Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom and defensive warfare, has grown bored with the luxurious life her fellow deities live on Olympus and sets out in search of adventure. Athena is a selfish princess of the Kingdom of Victory, which inhabits a mysterious world. She was bored with the monotonous life day by day in her castle and desired exciting adventures. One day she opened the Door Which Shouldn't Be Opened in the basement of Castle Victory, and fell to another world called Fantasy World which was dominated by an evil emperor Dante, a creature based on Cerberus. After Princess Athena defeated Dante (in the sequel Athena: Full Throttle), she is again bored with the peaceful days without adventures. This time she opens the Door Which Shouldn't Be Opened: B, disregarding the advice from her loyal maid Helene, and they both fall to the Elysium World
