Zeus distinguished himself from previous leaders in Greek mythology by his role as the supreme god and ruler of Mount Olympus, embodying both authority and justice. Unlike earlier deities, who often represented specific aspects of nature or human experience, Zeus unified various domains under his governance, wielding thunder and lightning as symbols of his power. Furthermore, his narratives often highlight themes of order over chaos, showcasing his ability to maintain balance among the gods and humanity. This combination of supremacy, responsibility, and moral authority set him apart from his predecessors.
