Typically, Zeus was considered the chief of the Greek pantheon. His name even points to this, since it is derived from the same ancient root word as the Latin deus, which means "god" and dies which means "day". The origin root means "to shine brightly".
Incidentally, the Roman counterpart, Jupiter also derived from this same source.
