Zeus
(/zju?s/, Ancient Greek: ?e??) is the sky and thunder
god in ancient Greek religion and mythology,
who rules as king
of the gods on Mount
Olympus. His name is cognate with the first syllable
of his Roman equivalent Jupiter.
Zeus
is the child of Cronus and Rhea, the youngest of his
siblings to be born, though sometimes reckoned the
eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus's
stomach. In most traditions, he is married to Hera,
by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares,
Eileithyia, Hebe, and Hephaestus.At the oracle of
Dodona, his consort was said to be Dione, by whom
the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite. According
to the Theogony, Zeus' first wife was Metis, by whom
he had Athena. Zeus was also infamous for his erotic
escapades. These resulted in many divine and heroic
offspring, including Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone,
Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos,
and the Muses.
He
was respected as a sky father who was chief of the
gods and assigned roles to the others:"Even the
gods who are not his natural children address him
as Father, and all the gods rise in his presence."
He was equated with many foreign weather gods, permitting
Pausanias to observe "That Zeus is king in heaven
is a saying common to all men". Zeus' symbols
are the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak. In addition
to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical "cloud-gatherer",
Nephelegereta)[ also derives certain iconographic
traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East,
such as the scepter. (Wikipedia)
