Athene Seyler, CBE (31 May 1889 – 12 September 1990) was an English actress.
Athene Seyler was educated at Coombe Hill School in Surrey, a progressive co-educational school which disliked petitionary prayer and whose advanced biology classes studied Darwin's On The Origin of Species. Seyler took part in an anti-blood sports demonstration, during which pupils captured the fox from the local hunt.
She was also active in the South Place Ethical Society during the 1920s, where her father Clarence H. Seyler took his family for many years to hear Moncure Conway lecture as an alternative to attending a religious Sunday service. Clarence ran a class for the study of Herbert Spencer, contributed to the South Place magazine on rationalist matters and wrote a treatise on birth control which he circulated privately among his family.
Although better known as a stage actress- she first appeared on the stage in 1909- she made her film debut in 1921, and became known for playing slightly dotty old ladies in many British films from the 1930s to the 1960s.

They chat for a bit and we learn that Giles is writing a new book in which he will "prove conclusively that even the limitations of a worm can be expended by intelligence". George seems a bit dense. Athene Seyler as George's wife enters, and talks of how all her friends love hearing about her celebrated cousin. She relates the newspaper stories of Giles' wife being his "great helpmate and stimulus" and wonders what she stimulates, considering the cou...
