BG1's "Call the Winchesters! We got an ever big fight than the apocalypse on our hands" Edge

Instead of going through the edges I am going to give a detailed vote here and pretty much agree with everyone here in saying that ​Michael the Archangel​ is going to win out here. In all fairness, Athena is the goddess of wisdom and has fought some brutal opponents such as another fellow god in her pantheon as well as other Grecian legends - but true to the nature of both Christian theology and Greek mythology, IIRC, Athena as a goddess has her flaws which make her seem a little more mortal in the scale of godliness whereas Michael (being God's right-hand man) is as divine an angel and thus is almost close to perfection to the Abrahamic God himself meaning he has insanely high durability (which just puts him on the borderline of invulnerability).

Furthermore, as Laq also points out, Michael's weapons are more suited for the job than Athena's and the experience both had pretty much explain why - Michael's weapons were designed to kill fallen angels and demons as well as protect him from their power which suggest that the Sword of Discrimination contains a great amount of power in it than Athena's own weaponry (which was only designed to be used against her own flawed deific family and their demigod creations) and the plate armour he bears is more durable and protective than Athena's Aegis and standard Greek armour plate. Athena may have her chariot but Michael has the power of flight and I doubt that mobility-wise she can outpace an angel - and while her godly power of utilising Zeus's thunderbolts is certainly a power not worth underestimating (compared to the passive healing power), I doubt it would be of use against a being thats always zipping about the place with his wings.
