I remember that Zeus was told by the Oracles, that if this woman gave birth to a son, that the boy would replace him as king of the gods, so he swallowed her whole! Athena was born and raised within Zeus' skull as a result.

Metis was Athena's mother. Zeus swallowed her, as several people said. He developed a terrible headache and had his head split with an axe. Athena emerged. Athens was her city and is named for her. She is often called Pallas Athene.

Man, that guy sure got around. You already got the answer to your question, so I'll just say that Athena rocks. Super strong, super smart, super beautiful! Did you know she was one of only 3 Greek goddesses who remained a virgin?
