Something to consider if you want to travel in First...aren't too concerned about UA 1K bonus miles...money is no object...or don't care about the number of award miles you use.

LAX-JFK UA
JFK-FRA SQ
FRA-ATH LH

I don't think you can take UA LAX-FRA non-stop on UA metal. The LH nonstop, however, is a UA codeshare.

You might want to explore the *A European Airpass for fares from *A European gateways to ATH.

Check out these pix of the SQ First seats if you haven't seen them already
