The answer to that is situational. If you're going up against an ap champion in lane then go ahead and get chalice. Especially if you're losing or dont feel confident in you ability to survive their burst. However,  If the enemy is an AD champion then going for idol is better as morello is cheaper and has a better stat efficiency. Not that AUG (Athenes yada yada yada) is a bad item just that morell lets you get some wards too or potions depending on how things are going and has more raw damage.

TL;DR

morell> athenes unless you're losing or the enmy is AD
