Zeus

Zeus (Greek: Ζευς) is the King of the Gods who lived on top of Mount Olympus along with the other Olympians. He is the God of the Sky, Thunder and Lightning. He is also the God of Law, Order and Justice.
== Mythology ==
Zeus is the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. After a hard power struggle, he eventually became the Supreme God who ruled over Heavens, and had absolute power over Heaven and Earth. He controlled all powers in Heaven, such as wind, rain, lightning and snow, and was therefore often described as a Cloud Collector or Thunderer, but there are also many other descriptions about him. His weapon was the lightning bolt that could kill and disable anyone.
