Who is Metis ?

In Greek mythology, Metis was the goddess of the arts and wisdom. Metis was an Okeanis (Goddess of clouds and rain) and Titaness (daughter of Gaia). She personified "wisdom, good counsel, cunning and prudence". The Greek word 'metis' is interpreted to mean "the most knowing" and "of many counsels". According to Hesiod "Metis knew more than all the gods and men put together".

Zeus, the king of the gods, took Metis as his first wife. When he discovered that she was pregnant, he swallowed her fearing she might give birth to a son mightier than him. Metis was in fact pregnant from a daughter which later became goddess Athena. Indeed, she nurtured her daughter inside Zeus and armed her with weapons. Subsequently, the goddess Athena burst forth from Zeus' forehead.
