The child of Cronus and Rhea, Zeus avoided being swallowed at an early age by his father with the help of his mother. Along with the brothers Hades and Poseidon, Zeus defeated the titans and became the King of Olympus. Zeus is most well known as the god of sky and thunder – he wields the lightning bolt forged by the Cyclopes blacksmiths; he is the supreme cultural embodiment of the Greek religious system and had far-reaching influence beyond his relevancy. Carefree, wise, fair, and unpredictable sums up Zeus’ personality; he can be just and merciful while at the same time easily enraged by the slightest offense from anyone. Zeus is a lover with no boundary, he falls in love repeatedly and consistently with different people and had many affairs with various women which created demi-gods, mythical creatures, and constellations throughout the Greek pantheon.
