The goddess Pallas Athena's parents were Zeus and Metis. Zeus tricked pregnant Metis into turning herself into a fly so he could swallow her. He did so because an oracle had told him that the son of Metis would overthrow his father. Later, Zeus got a pounding headache. Hephaestus, the god of the forge, had to split open his skull. From the spit skull sprung Athena.
Athena sprung from Zeus's head, born in a special way that was "intellectual" instead of sexual in nature.
