Do you know about Zeus?

Here in the work, Zeus is one of the main characters, but our Zeus is different from the one in mythology.

Do you know Zeus from mythology?

Well, Zeus was represented by a strong, bearded, majestic-looking man with a lightning bolt in his hand and an eagle at his side.

Zeus, lord of gods and men, appeared in Ancient Greece at a time when various gods proliferated in tribal myths, as an attempt to explain natural phenomena or as a guarantee of victory in wars, good harvest, luck in love, etc. Zeus is the son of Cromos (the strongest of the titans) and Rea, his sister.

Kronos, who reigned in the universe, was warned by an oracle that one of his sons would dethrone him. He therefore proceeded to devour his offspring shortly after birth. When giving birth to the sixth child, Rea decided to save him from the father's determination through a ruse. She hid the boy and gave Kronos a diaper-wrapped stone the size of the newborn. Kronos swallowed the stone and Zeus survived.

Upon becoming an adult, Zeus decided to conquer the throne of his father, who gave him a drug to drink that made him vomit the other children previously swallowed: Demeter, Hera, Hestia, Hades and Poseidon. Together, the brothers faced Cronus and the other titans, with the help of the Cyclops and the giants Hecatonqueirs, who Zeus had freed from Tartarus, a region located in the depths of the world, below hell itself.

After a fierce combat from which they emerged victorious, Zeus and his brothers raffled among them the powers over the universe. This draw resulted in the sea becoming the domain of Poseidon and hell (understood as the underworld) of Hades. To Zeus fell the sky and sovereignty among the other gods. There were some attempts to revolt against Zeus, but he always managed to defeat the rebels. The top of Mount Olympus became the palace of the king of the gods.

Zeus married several times. His wives were Metis, Themis, Dione, Eurynome, Mnemosyne, Leto, Demeter and Hera, these last two being his sisters. The union with Hera was called "sacred", as it was the definitive one. Even so, Zeus had many mistresses among mortal women and demigods. From this large number of wives and lovers were born divine children (among them Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Artemis, Ares and Persephone) and semidivine children (among them Heracles, Tantalus, Achilles, Ajax and Helena). Insatiable, Zeus was not limited to women, having also kidnapped the handsome Trojan Ganymede.

Zeus was the Jupiter of the Romans.
