Zeus was the father of the gods and the most important of them. He was god of the weather phenomena, protector of foreigners, family and fertility. He was still a god of thunder and sky. The youngest son of Saturn and Rhea, Zeus was the husband and brother of the goddess Hera. The rest of his brothers were goddess Hestia, goddess Demeter, god Poseidon, and god Hades.

According to mythology, Saturn, who had overthrown his father and had taken the authority from him, in fear of having the same happened to him, swallowed his children. His wife Rhea, when she gave birth to her last child, Zeus, gave Saturn a brazen stone to swallow instead of the infant, and hid Zeus in a cave on a mountain in Crete, where was raised by goat Amalthea.

As soon as Zeus reached adulthood, he liberated his other siblings from Saturn, and all together claimed power from their parents and uncles, causing Titanomachy. The three brothers received from the Cyclops the weapons that would help them in the battle between the gods. Zeus received the thunderbolt, Poseidon a trident, and Hades a helmet made invisible anyone who wore it. The war lasted 10 years and ended with the victory of the younger gods. After the victory, the three brothers casted a lot to determine the kingdoms they would rule. Zeus took over the sky and the master of everything, Poseidon the seas and every wet element, and Hades the underworld, the invisible kingdom where the dead went as soon as they left the earthly world. The legend states that Zeus had sexual relationships with many women, so he had many offspring, and his mistresses and children always had to deal with the jealousy of Hera.

His main symbols were the thunderbolt through which he showed his anger to the mortals when they did not follow his orders, as well as the eagle, which, according to the myth, took over the protection and nutrition of Zeus immediately after his birth.
