The name of the goddess is Athena (pr. an-thee-NA). I've never heard of 'Athene' before...

I'm Greek, I live in Greece, I know how to pronounce the name :)
Ah-thee-NAH = goddess, Ah-THEE-nah = cityAthena is the Latinised form of nothing... I googled Athene and found out that it was the doric greek form of Athena
