Best Answer

Athena was born full-grown from Zeus' head. There had been a prophecy that the children of Zeus and Metis would be more powerful than Zeus, so Zeus tricked Metis into becoming a fly and he swallowed her. However, Metis was already pregnant and she gave birth to Athena inside of Zeus. Metis made a robe and helmet for her daughter; all the hammering inside gave Zeus a headache, so he asked Hephaestus to cleave his head open. At this point, Athena sprang from Zeus' head in full armor and armed with the weapons Metis had given her.
