I'm writing about the intersection between birth and violence in various myths, including the birth of #Athena. Some sources say that Hephaistos or Prometheus used an axe to help her emerge, but many secondary discussions of the story also describe #Zeus having a terrible headache before the birth. I can't find the original sources mentioning the headache. If anyone knows what text or texts this is from, I would love to know! #GreekMyth #Mythology #Classics #AncientGreek #AskMastodon
