Zues (Father of Greek gods)

He is The Father of Greek gods & men. He is a sky god, He’s power to control Thunder & Lightning, which he uses as a weapon. He is the king of Olympus Mountain (home of Greek gods). Greeks also thought that he is the father of Greek heroes. Zeus mated with many mortals and goddesses but is married to his sister Hera (Juno).


Cronus sired several children by Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, but swallowed them all as soon as they were born, since he had learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son as he had overthrown his own father— an oracle that Zeus was to hear and avert. But when Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Uranus and his own children. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed.
