Zeus
Ζεύς · Roman 유피테르 (Jupiter)
King of Olympus, thunderbolt in hand.
Youngest child of Cronus and Rhea, he freed his swallowed siblings and brought down his father.
After winning the war, he drew lots with Hades and Poseidon and took the sky. The earth was shared ground for all three.
He is also the protector of guests and strangers — in ancient Greece, mistreating a stranger meant defying Zeus.
His countless love affairs are partly the result of cities all over Greece each claiming, "our founder was a child of Zeus."
