Right now I'm reading the Iliad while listening to podcasts about classical Greece, and although the professor doesn't notice, the blacksmith god had two golden maids:
"Thetis of the silver feet came to the house of Hephaistos [on Mount Olympos] ... [and Hephaistos came] to the doorway limping. And in support of their master moved his attendants. These are golden, and in appearance like living young women. There is intelligence in their hearts, and there is speech in them and strength, and from the immortal gods they have learned how to do things. These stirred nimbly in support of their master, and moving near to where Thetis sat in her shining chair, Hephaistos caught her [Thetis] by the hand." - Homer, Iliad 18.136
Thereby predating Metropolis...
(Or C3PO)
