If you are referring to the Greek goddess Metis, then some people would say that Athena is the daughter of Metis. When Zeus found out that Metis was pregnant with his child, he swallowed Metis in order to prevent the child to be born and grow up to overthrow him. After swallowing Metis, Zeus began to have headaches until Hephaestus hit him on the head, and Zeus' head cracked opened. From his head came Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war.
