Explanation

Athena sprang fully armed from Zeus's skull after Hephaestus split it open to relieve Zeus's headache. According to myth, Zeus swallowed Metis (goddess of wisdom) when he learned she would bear a child who would overthrow him. Athena thus emerged from Zeus's head already grown and armed. The Parthenon in Athens is dedicated to her as the goddess of wisdom and warfare.
