Athena the Greek goddess sprung out of Zeus's, (King of the gods), head in full battle armour, after he swallowed his wife Metis. (He had complained of severe headache's, so the god of the forge, Hephaestus, split Zeus's head with an ax.) He swallowed her because he feared she was carrying the son that prophesied to overthrow him.
