Zeus (Once Upon a Time)

Zeus is a minor character in the TV series Once Upon a Time. He is the Greek god of the skies, the ruler of Mount Olympus, the older brother of Hades and the biological father of the great hero Hercules. 
==History==
=== Before First Curse ===
Zeus is a deity, the son of Kronos and the older brother of Hades. At some point, Kronos chooses Zeus to become the next ruler of Mount Olympus, who gains everything that Hades had wanted. This fuels Hades's animosity towards both Zeus and Kronos. One day, Zeus goes to his father's bedroom, where he discovers the dead body of Kronos and he sees Hades taking the Olympian Crystal, a powerful weapon belonging to the ruler of Mount Olympus. Understanding what happened, Zeus manages to stop Hades, as the latter tried to use the Olympian Crystal on his brother. To keep his brother from harnessing the Olympian Crystal, Zeus breaks it and then makes Hades' heart cease to beat. Hades is then unable to repair the crystal because using it requires a beating heart, and the stopped heart can only be reversed with true love's kiss. Eventually, Hades ends up becoming the ruler of the Underworld.[1] ("Our Decay", "Last Rites")
At some point in his life, Zeus meets a human woman, who becomes the mother of his son, Hercules. As a demigod, Hercules is tasked to complete the Twelve Labors, in order to ascend to Mount Olympus, where he will be reunited with Zeus and become immortal. ("Labor of Love")
=== After Third Curse ===
Following the defeat of Hades, Zeus greets Killian after his arrival to Mount Olympus. The god thanks him for helping his friends to take care of his misguided brother and he then escorts him to the place he belongs. As a reward for assisting in Hades' defeat, Zeus allows Killian to return to the world of the living upon giving him a second chance at life. ("Last Rites")
