From what I recall from Saint Seiya, Athena is basically a helpless girl kind
of feeling the place of damsel in distress which drives the story forward,
with the knights protecting or rescuing her.

However she’s also described as a god. I don’t recall any godlike powers or
actions coming from her but I saw the anime on the 90s so my memory may be
off.

What are her powers? Is she a real god or is she something else?

I seem to recall in some part of the anime (movie or something) they fight
Poseidon and he is actually a real adversary, a real god with powers or
something.

What are the exactly the powers of Athena?


Athena is a real god in the series, Poseidon is her uncle.

However in Saint Seiya, she is actualy reborn as a mortal every 200 years or
so. Her incarnation in the 20th century was taken from the Santuary by Kido
Mitsumasa and adopted under the name Kido Saori. The other gods in Saint Seiya
aren't reborn, they just posess mortals instead and can use their powers
imediately. She is not initially aware of her identity/powers as Athena, but
as the series goes on she shows all sorts of abilities, like telporting,
healing, bestowing long life, sealing away other gods and fighting using her
god cloth, staff and shield.
