As a goddess, Athena covered a lot of ground: war, wisdom, courage, the arts, and more. As an offspring, she was born in a weird way. From where on Zeus' body did she emerge?
Answer His head
According to Greek mythology, Athena sprang from the forehead of her father, Zeus. After her birth, the legend states that she beat out Poseidon in a competition by creating the first olive tree. Delicious olive oil would soon follow.
