haillily:mythology edits » athena, greek goddess of wisdom, handicraft, and warfare“zeus slept with metis, although she turned herself into many forms in order to avoid having sex with him. when she was pregnant, zeus took the precaution of swallowing her, because she had said that, after giving birth to the daughter presently in her womb, she would bear a son who would gain the lordship of the sky. in fear of this he swallowed her. when it came time for the birth, prometheus by the river triton struck the head of zeus with an axe, and from his crown athena sprang up, clad in her armour.” -- source link
