Athena (and Hermes) took a personal interest in Perseus, giving him a gift of a mirrored shield which enabled him to kill Medusa without being petrified. In return, he gave her the head, after using it on his wanna-be father-in-law, who was harrassing his mother.
Athena also helped Odysseus all the way through the Odyssey, giving advice, disguising him, making plans, and helping him kill his wife's harrasers.
The patron hero of her patron city was Theseus, so they probably had a relationship, too.

Athena also took a fondness to Bellerophon and came to him while he laying sleeping in her temple and gave him (or guided him, depending on which version you read) the golden bridle that allowed him to catch and ride Pegasus. They then fought the Chimera.
