Zeus got a splitting headache and ordered the smith god Hephaestus to split his head open. This is how Athena was born. She sprang up in full body armor from Zeus's' skull.
Metis is Athena's mother. Zeus got metis pregnant. when his grandmother told him that after metis had his daughter that she would bare a son that would destroy Zeus and take his place on the thrown so Zeus found metis and ate her whole. but she and her unborn child lived in side of his belly for a cuple days and when Athena got strong and brave her mother some how made her a armored suit and she sprung out Zeus head. but before she could reach for her mother Zeus woke and closed the hole. leaving metis to be alone with out her hope of ever escaping. And Metis still is in there because she inmortel.
Athena, the Greek Goddess, was most known for her wisdom. She was pictured with brown hair, a battle helmet, and war armor. She would also sometimes have an owl by her side or on her shoulder. She's the greek goddess of war, strategy, and wisdom, and different than Ares, who is the greek god of violent war, not strategic war. The birth of Athena is also pretty interesting, she popped out of Zeus' head (when Hephaestus chopped it open) and she was dressed in completely battle armor. She is the daughter of Metis and Zeus, because Zeus swallowed Metis whole (that's another story) and then eventually, Athena came to be.
The Metis sash is traditionally worn on the right side. This symbolizes the individual's connection to the Metis culture and heritage.
Yes. Zeus fathered Athena on the goddess Metis (Yes, Athena was born from Zeus' head, but Metis was still the mother) and fathered Hercules on Alcmene. Hercules and Athena are half-siblings because they share a common parent. Interestingly enough, Zeus is also Hercules' great-great-grandfather andgreat-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather on his mother's side. So, in addition to being half siblings, Hercules and Athena are cousins.
No. On one hand, Athena's mother, Metis, was a Titan and would have been Hestia's aunt, making Athena her cousin from her mother's side. Athena's father, as we know, was Zeus, which is Hestia's brother, making Athena her Niece on her father's side.

Yes Athena was Zeus's daughter. Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus' first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother's robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius. Athena and her uncle Poseidon were both very fond of a certain city in Greece. Both of them claimed the city and it was decided that the one that could give the finest gift should have it. Leading a procession of citizens, the two gods mounted the Acropolis. Poseidon struck the side of the cliff with his trident and a spring welled up. The people marveled, but the water was as salty as Poseidon's sea and it was not very useful. Athena's gift was an olive tree, which was better because it gave the people food, oil and wood. Athena named her city Athens. Athena's companion was the goddess of victory, Nike, and her usual attribute is the owl. Athena possessed the Aegis.
