There were two distinct traditions about the place of Zeus' birth. The most frequently mentioned place was in Crete, on Mount Aegeon or Mount Ida or Mount Dicte. The other tradition, defended by Callimachus in his Hymn of Zeus, situates it in Arcadia. Even Callimachus admits that Zeus' earliest years were spent in a Cretan hiding place, where his mother had entrusted him to the Curetes and the Nymphs. His nurse was the Nymph (or goat) Amalthea, who suckled him. It was also said that when the goat died, Zeus used its skin for his shield: this was the aegis whose power was first put to the test at the time of the fight against the Titans. The divine child was also nourished on honey: the bees of Mount Ida produced honey especially for him (for the euhemeristic interpretations of this, see Melissa and Melisseus). The Cretans did not merely show the spot where, according to them, Zeus was born; they would also point out a so-called Tomb of zeus, to the great indignation of mythographers and poets for whom Zeus was the immortal god.
