Genesis

Metis was the Titaness of the forth day and the planet Mercury. She presided over all wisdom and knowledge. She was seduced by Zeus and became pregnant with Athena. Zeus became concerned over prophecies that her second child would replace him, and to avoid this, he ate her. It is said that she then became the source for Zeus wisdom and that she still advises him from his belly.

The legend of Metis is a metaphor of the reasons which brought to the creation of Merlin & Metys Software: Software modeling processes & methodologies must be guided, advised, wisely from the inside, because we believe in the importance of those methodologies, because today still, the development of software applications need better assistance, better accuracy. And this need becomes urgent, the chaos report of the Standish Group is here to recall it.
