ZEUS

Zeus was the third king of the Greek gods. He had his throne on mount Olympus. He was a son of Cronos and Rhea. When Zeus was born, to prevent him from being eaten by his father, a fate which had befallen his five elder siblings, his mother gave him to mountain nymphs to raise in secret in Crete. On Crete, Zeus was brought up by Amalthea and was taught martial skills by the Curetes. Once grown, Zeus went to work for his father as a cupbearer, and upon giving his father a drink of nectar mixed with emetic herbs, caused Cronos to vomit up the now fully grown brothers and sisters of Zeus. This caused a war, with the Titans, led by Cronos, fighting the gods led by
Zeus. The war ended with victory for the gods who were provided with invincible weapon by the Cyclopes, including a helmet of invisibility for Hades, an earth-shaking trident for Poseidon, and a thunderbolt for Zeus. After the war
Zeus won possession of the sky, Hades the Underworld and Poseidon the sea. The earth was decreed common territory to be enjoyed by all.
