In the standard Classical Greco-Roman version of the story, Athena was said to be born fully developed from (out of) the head of Zeus; however, this is their later re-write of the story, so to speak, done to suit their cosmological views. The goddess was worshiped in ancient Egypt long before the Greeks, where she was known as Neith. According to the Egyptians, she was related to the Titan Poseidon and his first born son Atlas via Poseidon's herold, Triton; originating out of the Lake Tritonis, a long extinct lake in Northwest Aftica. This is attested to by Plato, Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, and many other Classical era scholars. The best reference work to begin researching this is: "The Greek Myths" by Robert Graves...

Is Zeus a good father?
In my opinion, no. According to evolutioary theory, yes, as Zeus was able to father many, many children. Thus, he is more reproductively fit than other males who did not pass on their genes to as many offspring. However, Zeus, for the most part, did not actually have any further interaction with these children after they were sired with only a few exceptions. (Athena and Dinoysus, for example, were both born from Zeus -- head and thigh, respectively -- after Zeus killed their mothers -- Athena's purposefully and Dinoysus' accidentally)
