Hephaestus had tried to rape Athena and even though she was able to escape, he got some semen on her thigh. In disgust, Athena wiped the semen off with a woolen cloth. When the wool landed on the earth, it impregnated the earth and Erichthion, the first king of Athens, was born, thus making Athena and Hephaestus the parents of Athens.
