Metis

Metis (/ˈmiːtɪs/; Greek: Μῆτις - "wisdom," "skill" or "craft"), in ancient Greek religion, was a mythical Titaness belonging to the second generation of Titans. She was one of the Oceanids, 3000 daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, By the era of Greek philosophy in the 5th century BC, Metis had become the mother of wisdom and deep thought. Metis is considered the embodiment of "prudence", "wisdom" or "wise counsel", in which form she was inherited by the Renaissance. Metis was Zeus' first wife, and was swallowed by him when he heard a prophecy of them having a son that would overthrow him. Because of this Zeus gained Metis' knowledge and wisdom.
