Zeus (Saint Seiya)

==Summary==
Zeus, the Sovereign of the Heavens (天帝ゼウス; Tentei Zeusu; Ο Θεός Ζευς), God of the Skies and Lightning, is the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, The Sacred Emperor of the Heavens and the King of the Olympian Deities. He has never been directly shown on screen in the whole of the Saint Seiya Franchise, instead of being only alluded and referenced by various characters and shown as a silhouette in flashbacks.
The youngest son of Cronus and Rhea, Zeus' existence was hidden from his tyrant father. The latter had imprisoned all of his former sons and daughters to avoid being overthrown by them. He grew in secrecy under the cares of Gaia, Mother-Goddess of the Earth, who taught him all he knew and nurtured him with power. Countless years later, Zeus, far older yet still a youth, returned to the Earth, freeing his brothers and sisters. Alongside them, facing all Twelve Titans in a 10 Year Long War, the Titanomachy.
Zeus personally crushed his father Cronus in combat. When the war had ended, it was he who sealed his and all other Titans' souls in the darkest depths of Tartarus. Afterward, the young Zeus assumed his father's throne as Ruler of the Universe and divided his newly acquired kingdom with his two older brothers, Hades and Poseidon. Zeus remained as Emperor of the Heavens and Earth. Hades and Poseidon became Emperors of the Underworld and the Oceans, respectively.
Countless Eons passed since then, each God ruling in his Domain. As time went by, numerous new Deities came to be, many of them being children of Zeus himself, those being: Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Hephaestus, Ares, and last but not least, Athena, by far his favorite daughter. Together, they joined Zeus and his brothers and sister in the Heavens and became known as the Olympian deities. Later, they descended into the Earth, coming in contact with the people of Ancient Greece, who grew to adore and worship the Olympians as their Gods, in a time now remembered as the Mythological Era.
Legends of battles and dramas between gods, mortals, and demigods abound throughout the centuries. In this era, Gaia was furious at the Olympians and wanted to destroy them. After mating with Tartarus, the Goddess of Life gave birth to an army of Gigas led by Typhon whose power was so great that none of the Olympians other than Zeus could oppose him. In a battle that shook the universe, Zeus fought the god. Finally, the Olympian wins and seals Typhon's soul in Mount Etna and Gaia's body in Tartarus.
However, the time of joy and prosperity didn't last forever; Zeus has changed over time. For unknown yet hidden reasons, the God of Lightning no longer cared about humanity or Earth. Likewise, he had no interest in staying with his siblings and children. Resigning his rule over the Earth, he gave it to the deity he trusted most: his daughter Athena. Then Zeus ascended to the highest heavens, never to be seen again.
