Zeus was worried because Geue(Gw-ae) ( the earth ) told a prophesy that the daughter of Zeus and Metis ( Zeus's wife ) will overthrow him so he made a plan. He ate Metis and now she lives in his head. Zeus would not let her out. In Zeus's head, Metis gave birth to Athena. After so long, Zeus could not bare the noise they made. Athena then sprang from her father's head. She met a friend named Pallas. They fought in a tournament ageist each other. Athena ended up accidentally killing Pallas in the last contest. Instead of a feast , their was a funeral for Pallas.
The second story, the Gigantes ( their enemy ) attacked Olympus. Pallas has come back to life as the leader of the Gigantes. Athena kills her again and rips of a piece of her skin.
The third is about Posiden falling in love with a maid of Athena who swore she would never marry. Athena found out about the love between Posiden and Medusa and cursed Medusa. Then Zeus had a child with the daughter of King Leonitis. Athena had Pursius ( the son ) kill Medusa. As Athena commanded, he did.
The last story is about a woman who sew so good, people thought she could sew better than Athena. Athena took the challenge and in the end, the woman made a mistake by making it look like the gods were clowns.
