About Zeus

Ruler of Mount Olympus and god of the sky, lightning and law, Zeus kept order among gods and humans alike.

A famous story

After being swallowed by his father Cronus, Zeus's brothers and sisters were saved when he tricked Cronus into spitting them back out. Together they overthrew the Titans and Zeus drew the sky as his domain, hurling thunderbolts forged by the Cyclopes at anyone who defied him.
