Zeus (Zeus)
The main god in Greek mythology, the third king, is the ruler of Mount Olympus. Son of Cronus and Rhea, in charge of heaven; Known for his greed for flowers, many shrines and many Greek heroes on Olympus were born to him and different women. He used lightning as a weapon to maintain the order of heaven and earth, and bulls and eagles were his symbols. His brothers Poseidon and Hades were in charge of the ocean and hell respectively; The goddess Hera is the wife of Zeus.
Zeus is the son of Cronus. Cronus is a combination of creativity and destructive power of time. His parents are Uranus and Gaia, and his wife is Rhea, the goddess in charge of the passage of time. Rhea gave birth to many children, but every child was eaten by Cronus at birth. When Rhea gave birth to Zeus, she was determined to protect this little life. She wrapped a stone in cloth and lied that it was a newborn baby. Cronus swallowed the stone in one gulp.
When Zeus grew up, he knew his life and was determined to save his brother. He married Metis, the goddess of wisdom, and took his wife's advice to induce his father Cronus to take emetic. After taking the medicine, Cronus kept vomiting and threw up all his children. They are Poseidon, Hades, Hestia and Demeter. In order to reward their brother Zeus, they agreed to give him the most powerful weapon, lightning.
Zeus was so disgusted with his father's tyranny that he contacted his brothers to wage war on his father. In order to win as soon as possible, Zeus followed the advice of his brother Prometheus and released the cyclops and the child prodigy imprisoned underground. These six sons of Mother Earth have extraordinary power, and Zeus and his brothers finally won. Their father and many Titan gods were sent to hell. After a great victory, it's time to decide who will be king. Zeus and his brothers refused to give way to each other, and there was a war between them. At this time, Prometheus proposed to decide by drawing lots. As a result, Zeus became the king of heaven, Poseidon became the king of the sea and Hades became the king of hell.
Zeus, sitting on Mount Olympus, has supreme power and strength. He is the guide of justice, and his rule over mankind is fair and just. His suggestion is difficult to understand, his decision is irrevocable, and his will is prudent and correct.
Zeus is both the king of gods and the king of mankind, so people often describe him sitting on an exquisite throne. The solemn head shows the power to control the storm and the charm to control the starry sky.
The symbols of Zeus are eagle, oak and mountain peak; His favorite sacrifices are a female goat and a white cow with Jinjiao.
