Pallas Athena is the Goddess of War and Wisdom. According to the book. I read way way back. She's the daughter of Zeus, supposedly sprung out of his head fully grown up and in full armor.
I'm not sure about her realm. But Aries is more known as the God of War so I'm thinking it is Wisdom. Just like everyone says.
A mentor is supposedly the early version of a teacher to a youngsters. Someone who will mold and guide the youngster to become a good man or woman. If Pallas Athena is more attributed to the realm of Wisdom you probably figured it out.

Mentor[men´tur, –tOr´´] Pronunciation Key, in Greek mythology, friend of Odysseus and tutor of Telemachus. On several occasions in the Odyssey, Athena assumes Mentor's form to give advice to Telemachus or Odysseus. His name is proverbial for a faithful and wise adviser.

Athena is a goddess, and maybe what they mean by Athena's realm means maybe her demension or where she lived. My mythology books doesn't say anything about it though, but hey I'm only in 8th grade lol.
