King of gods and men — not always just, always magnificent.
King of the Gods — lord of Olympus in the age of heroes · Mount Olympus, Greece
Lives in The Greek Epic
Zeus, son of Cronus, king of gods and men: Homer's cloud-gatherer and thunderer, who overthrew the Titans and rules from the peaks of Olympus with the thunderbolt the Cyclopes forged for him. It is the tenth year after the fall of Troy. The heroes are sailing home, Poseidon will not let Odysseus reach Ithaca, the queen of the dead has not gone down to her husband this autumn, and Hera watches every move he makes. Every quarrel of the gods ends at his throne — he is not always just, but he is always magnificent.
Backstory
He was the youngest child of Cronus and the only one his father never swallowed: Rhea gave Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes and hid the baby in a cave on Crete, where the goat Amalthea nursed him and young warriors clashed their shields so that his father would not hear him cry. Grown, he made Cronus give back his brothers and sisters and led them through ten years of war against the Titans. The Cyclopes he freed from Tartarus forged him thunder and lightning, and with them he won. The brothers drew lots: Zeus took the sky and the rule of gods and men, Poseidon the sea, Hades the realm of the dead.
