Zeus

Zeus was the main Olympian god. It all started when his father Cronus would eat his off-spring so that they would not grow older and stronger than him and take over. So after Cronus ate his off-spring and Zeus was born, Rhea his mother did not like the fact that Cronus at his kids so she go fed up with it and tricked him to thinking Zeus was a rock and instead of eating Zeus he ate the rock instead. So what Cronus has feared had happened Zeus grew up and killed his father and being that they were immortal were living in his stomach without being digested. So with his brothers and sisters freed they retaliated against all the Titans and defeated them and locked them away in Tartarus the deepest and darkest part of the underworld.

So after Zeus and the other gods defeated the Titans they moved to Mount Olympus. That is how they got their names as The Olympian Gods. Zeus was the god of the sky and weather. He married his sister Hera and together had other gods. But Zeus had many different mates and many off-spring. Such as the most popular hero Heracles. Zeus symbol was the Thunderbolt and that was also his weapon. His bird was the eagle, his tree was the oak tree. Zeus was seen as the god of mercy and justice, the protector of weak and the punisher of the wicked.
