Zeus giving birth to Athena by Rudolph Tegner, 1873-1950
"He seized her with his hands and put her in his belly, for fear that she might bring forth something stronger than his thunderbolt: therefore did Zeus, who sits on high and dwells in the aether, swallow her down suddenly. But she straightway conceived Pallas Athene: and the father of men and Gods gave her birth by way of his head on the banks of the river Trito."
-Hesiod's Theogony (ll. 929a-929t)
