Who was Zeus?

Answer 1

Zeus is the king of all gods apart from the big three which are Poseidon hades and himself , and the god of sky and thunder. He was the ruler of Mount Olympus and married many times. His main wife and queen Hera became angry with this and often went for vengeance, actually killing some of Zeus' other wives!

In Greek mythology Cronus the Titan had 5 children - Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera and Demeter and , because he was told one of his children would kill him, swallowed each of them. When his sixth child Zeus was born, Cronus' wife, Rhea, wrapped a stone in cloth and he swallowed that instead, thinking it was Zeus. Zeus then gave Cronus a poison drink causing him to regurgitate his five brothers and sisters.

Answer 2

Zeus is the Greek god of thunder and king of the gods. His domain is the sky. His father, Kronos(sometimes spelled Cronos or Chronos), was the titan that could control time. Zeus was the last of six children that Kronos sired. In order of birth, it goes: Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Kronos devoured every one of them (or so he thought). Fed up of having her husband eat their children, Kronos' wife hid Zeus away until he was fully grown. Zeus freed his siblings by tricking Kronos into eating a poison that made him vomit the now adult gods into the open air. Having done that and now with his siblings at his side, Zeus led a war against the titans that ended with Kronos being chopped into a thousand pieces and cast into the Pit of Tartarus, in Hades new domain, the Underworld. Zeus has a lightning bolt so powerful it could produce craters, while his brothers, Hades and Poseidon, were gifted the Helm of Darkness and the Trident
