Though I am generally not in favor of multi-country trips, I think it works in this case. Barcelona should be an easier flight, so it breaks up the trip--I'd want more than only two full days in Barcelona though.
What parts of Greece are you interested in? What time of year? Traveling solo? Interests? Public transport only or car an option?
First you can see what other places besides Athens you can fly to from Barcelona, as that might save you some time or backtracking. (I like Skyscanner for European flights,) Even if you fly to Athens, you'll be able to arrive early and without jet lag so you can set off for [fill in the blanks] and then return for your final nights in Athens. I had a shorter trip and I intentionally gave Athens only a night--enough time to see the Acropolis and get a good walk around the city. If I was planning your trip, I'd give it at least a few nights so you can see more of Athens. (I plan to return at some point).
There are gazillion itineraries for two weeks in Greece--peruse a guide book and bit and let us know what you are thinking.
