Segundo a tradição mitológica grega, Palas Atena foi a filha favorita de Zeus, o poderoso pai dos deuses e rei do monte Olimpo. A deusa Metis, cujo nome significa “pensamento” ou “inteligência” era sua mãe. Acreditava-se que Metis era tão sábia que tinha mais conhecimento que todos os deuses e homens juntos. | |||
Zeus was warned that if he had children with Metis they would be more powerful than he and would eventually dethrone him. Thus, when Metis became pregnant with Athena, Zeus swallowed Metis in order to prevent the child’s birth. Soon after, Zeus became afflicted with a violent headache. He went to the smithy god Hephaestus, who split his skull with a bronze ax in order to relieve the pain. Out sprang the bright-eyed Athena in full armour, shouting triumphantly and brandishing a sharp spear! | Zeus was warned that if he had children with Metis they would be more powerful than he and would eventually dethrone him.
