**Zeus** is the King of the Greek gods, the god of hospitality on Ithaquack/Maceduckia, the father of Storkules and Selene, and one of the fiftysix main characters in the 2017 *DuckTales* series.

## Background

Zeus was the ruler of Ithaquack and the Greek pantheon. He cherished the praise he was given to by the mortals. One day, Ithaquack was visited by the McDucks years ago, and Zeus invited them to the island's festivities. However, Scrooge McDuck was good at almost every game he was challenged against, and beat Zeus every time. When the mortals started praising the McDucks for their entertainment, Zeus banished the McDucks. He also brought forth thunderstorms to cast out the other gods and mortals of the island when they complained against Zeus for banishing Scrooge.

As the Dark Lord took over the world, he redeemed himself and teamed up with Adriana and Don Karnage to stop them. He treated fairly as a loyal friend to Adriana who cares about her famous adventures she's leading forward to.

## Trivia

* Zeus is the god of thunder and lightning in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. In Roman mythology, Zeus's counterpart was Jupiter.
* Zeus/Jupiter was first depicted as an anthropomorphic duck in the 1944 Donald Duck short "Trombone Trouble".
* According to Frank Angones' personal blog, the writers originally intended for Zeus to be depicted as a swan in reference to the mythological legend of Zeus' seduction of Leda, Queen of Sparta. This was nixed as, in Angones' own personal words, "those reasons were deemed... gross."
* When Zeus mentions meeting his wife (Storkules’ and presumably Selene’s mother) in battle, it is most likely that she is Hera, the Goddess of Marriage, his wife in the original myths. This adds to the fact that she participated in the battle against the Titans alongside Zeus, similar to how he said that he met her when she fought with him in battle.
