The Mythology of Zeus: King of the Gods

In Ancient Greek mythology, a pantheon of powerful gods controlled the universe. Their leader was Zeus, god of the sky and protector of gods and men. In Ancient Greece, Zeus was a hero, a father, and a judge, but what made Zeus such a compelling mythological figure wasn’t his strength, but the many trials that shaped Zeus’s character and his turbulent reign.
