Athena, goddess of wisdom and military victory, was the child of Zeus and Metis, and the half sister of Hercules, who's mother was Hera.
After hearing a prophecy that the child Metis bore after giving birth to Athena would be the lord of heaven, he swalloed Metis while she was still pregnant with Athena to stop it from happening.
When Athena was about to be born, Hephaistos (the smith god) opened Zeus's head with an axe so she could come out. When she did come out, she was wearing a full set of armour, representing military victory. She is the goddess of wisdom because of the clever way she was born that stopped the new lord of heaven to be born.
