How did Zeus swallow Athena's mother Metis?

Why did Zeus swallow Metis?
Zeus had impregnated Metis and when the great goddess Gaia found out she issued a prophecy that any son of Zeus and Metis would usurp the throne of Zeus' father. Zeus wanted to prevent this from happening so naturally he decided to swallow Metis whole. Unfortunately for Zeus Metis wasn't pregnant with a boy but with a girl. The child grew and grew inside of Zeus' head and he developed an epic headache that got worse and worse for several years. Hephaestus eventually saw Zeus' pain and split his head open and out came a fully dressed full grown Athena. I hope you found this helpful. :)
