[She did wonder how death here would affect someone's cycle of rebirth and karma. It was strange to think that one could come back at all by what seemed to be scientific means. What other sort of technological advances have the scientists discovered?]

No, I hadn't wanted to test the theory either or any intention to test it.

[There were more names he said that were familiar or that she had heard before. Earth was definitely the planet she lived on, and the Greeks and Romans did believe in Athena, Ares, and Zeus. Different names, but still essentially the same deities.]

The belief in Athena parallels what you have said. She was believed to be the daughter of Zeus, and emerged from her father's forehead as a young woman in full, military regalia. Her brother Ares was the god of war, but was much more reckless and violent. A famous temple was built in her honor and still stands to this day, and her image is used symbolically to represent wisdom and strategic war.

Yet the similarities diverge from there, as I do not believe she has been associated with Saints or an army, although it is not uncommon to hear of myths of the gods and goddesses quarreling and initiating wars that also involved humanity.

If she has the Saints as her army, do the other Gods also have armies of their own? Does she not have any allies who are gods or goddesses?
