Best Answer

Zeus' first wife was Metis, and she gave birth to his daughter Athena. However, Zeus heard a prophecy that any of his children born of Metis would turn against him, so when Metis was pregnant with Athena, Zeus swallowed her, which is why Athena was was born fully formed from his head. Later his wife was Hera, but he had many, many consorts.
