“Zeus”

( The Supreme God in Ancient Greece, father of the Olympian gods and ruler of mankind). Zeus was born as the last child of the major titans Cronus and Rhea.
Zeus had his golden throne on the highest summit of Mount Olympus and was respected and awed by all Gods and mortals.
He was the "Lord of Justice", punishing anyone who lied or broke an oath, but was fair and always striving to keep a balance of all things.
Zeus was responsible for the weather and was shaping it according to his temper. When in a good mood, Zeus would bless the world with fine weather. When he was in a bad mood, he would throw rain, winds, lightings and thunderbolts, causing disaster to the mortals. Zeus was a very powerful guy, and he had curly hair.
His symbols are the thunderbolt , eagle, bull and the oak. The major center at which all Greeks converged to pay honor to their chief god was Olympia.
