The name

Metis ULS is located in the heart of the city which is completely trademarked by the existence of the Goddess Athena. Wanting to maintain the sacred bond with the city we could not but pay tribute to the maker of this significant Goddess. Metis was the first wife of Zeus and mother to Goddess Athena.

According to an oracle, Metis would first give birth to a daughter and then a son who would seize power and rule gods and men. As soon as Zeus was informed of the oracle, convincing Metis to transform into a drop of water, he swallowed her, while he was still pregnant with Athena.

Later, Zeus began to suffer from headaches and called on Hephaestus to help him. Then Hephaestus with a big hammer hit the head of Zeus and Athena jumped out in full armor, wearing a helmet and holding a shield.
