I don't think I've ever seen Athena portrayed as anything other than a goddess of wisdom and war. Her official accessory is a helmet and spear, and I can't think of a fictional portrayal where she doesn't have one or the other or both. I agree wisdom and the arts tends to be her most notable territories, though, probably because she was popularized in the Renaissance as such and had more use for artists than soldiers.

But at any rate, premodern pagan gods have tons of myths, legends, and attributes - but the general issue is there's no single "canon" portrayal of any of them, since interpretations of gods varied across regions and time periods. Adding syncretism to that, when people would "combine" their native gods with local/neighboring gods, characteristics merge and change. There's no one right way to portray a pagan god that has no overarching canon.
