Athene, alao known as Athena was the goddess of war and wisedom. She was born in a very strange way. Her father Zeus met a Titannian and fell in love with her. But there was a prophecy that if this woman would give birth to a boy child, he would defeat Zeus and become the new king. So Zeus swollowed the woman. After a while, Zeus had a terrible headache. Hephaestus wanted to help so he cutted Zeus's skull in half and out of it came out Athena. i really liked this story because the way that Athene was born was really weird and I never knew that she was born that way.
