Metis was another Titaness. She was the Goddess of Prudence, but there is a rather unprudent story about her that tells about the birth of Athena. Metis ends up living inside Zeus' head and giving him advice from there. Her name meant Cunning and she was the personification of it as well as its Goddess. She was also the one who discovered (created) the potion that caused Cronos to vomit up the six OGs, (to all y'all who understand the joke, thank you for not being either too old or too young). Anyway, her daughter eventually burst from Zeus' head fully formed - and fully clothed in the armor her that Metis made for her - but Metis apparently had gotten comfortable in her new pad and stayed there. That painting is of Athena because I can't seem to track one of Metis down. If you are interested in learning more about Metis, I recommend you skip her myths and go straight to the heroes most famous for employing her: Odysseus and Penelope.
