I think you might be looking for tyrannos, though actually the word meant something slightly different. Many tyrannoi were indeed cruel and/or mean, but strictly speaking the Greek word just meant that they had come to power by unconventional means and was, at least originally, not pejorative.
cruel = σκληρός [skleerOs] cruelty = σκληρότητα [skleerOteeta]
Not a word "creul" in Greek language. If you're asking for "cruel" translated into Greek, here it is: Cruel = ΣΚΛΗΡΟΣ, ΑΝΕΛΕΗΤΟΣ ( = Annihilator ), ΑΡΜΑΓΕΔΔΩΝ (Armageddon, EL AMARGADO* = The embitterer, The provider of bitterness). *that's the Spanish original expression for "Armageddon".
We have know way of knowing.
Since the Greek gods were personifications of natural phenomena and based on human nature, all of them had the capacity to be cruel. Some were worse than others, but all of them, at some point, did something we would consider cruel.
They could all be cruel in some capacity. There wasn't a specific "god of cruelty".
there were 12 Greek gods and zuis was the leader
The greek god Zues is the great greek leader
A cruel or mean leader is commonly referred to as a tyrant or despot. They typically rule with authoritarian control and show little compassion or empathy towards their subjects.
