Athena’s Birth: Forged in Zeus’s Skull #usa #usashorts #aishorts #canada

Zeus feared a child stronger than him. When Metis became pregnant, he swallowed her. Problem solved? Not quite. Months later, a pain split his skull. He begged for relief, and from that crack Athena erupted, fully grown, in armor, with a war cry that silenced the sky. The gods watched, not in awe but in shock. She wasn’t born from love; she was born from fear, from control, from paranoia, and maybe that’s why she became the goddess of wisdom.
