The Mighty Zeus: King of the Gods in Greek Mythology

Zeus, known as Jupiter in Roman mythology, was the powerful king of the gods and ruler of humanity. Born to Cronus and Rhea, he overthrew his father to assume his throne on Mt. Olympus with the help of his brothers, Poseidon and Hades. A father to Hercules and married to Hera, Zeus wielded the thunderbolt, his most famous weapon. He was a symbol of law, order, and fate, often depicted as a mature man with a dark beard. The Olympic Games were held in his honor, reflecting his significance in ancient Greek culture.
