Metis was the Titan goddess of good counsel and sided with the Olympians in the Titan war. She became a lover of Zeus, but in attempt to stop the prophecy that she would have a son who was greater than he was, Zeus swallowed Metis. Their child was born from Zeus's head. Her name was Athena.
Happy M to Z!

I've known the Greeks have had weird myths, but that one was definitely up there in weirdness!
