Zeus
Zeus was the high god in the Greek pantheon. He was the son of Cronos and the ruler of the sky.
Zeus was the only child of Cronos not to get eaten. With his mother Rhea, he devised a plan to free his siblings and despose the Cronos.
Rhea brought him back to Olympus to carry out his plan. Enlisting his cousins, there was a huge battle in which the young gods took over.
With the Titans defeated, the three brothers (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) drew lots for the kingdoms. Zeus won and chose the sky and married his sister Hera.
Zeus traveled a lot and had many children with many different women. Some of them were gods and others where heroes like Perseus and Hercules.
