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

@Arotrios This is very helpful, thank you! I know that the story is in Robert Graves' The Greek myths, but none of the sources he cites actually mention the headache. Looking through other retellings will hopefully lead me to the right sources. Thanks again!
