The mythology of gods and goddesses (ZEUS) Good day everyone, thanks for reading the introduction of the mythology of gods and goddesses. Today,I will be writing about a great god of the Greek religion which is **zeus** Who is Zeus? **Zeus** is the sky and thunder god of the Greek gods and goddesses. He rules over all gods on mount Olympus .He is popularly known as the king of gods Birth mythology Zeus was given birth to by *Cronus(father)* and Rhea.Cronus gave birth to many children by *Rhea(mother):their* names are; *Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.* When *Zeus* was about to be born, *Rhea* sought *Gaia* ( **the ancestral mother of Uranus**)to formulate a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Uranus and his own children. *Rhea* gave birth to *Zeus* in Crete, handing *Cronus* a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed. The reason why *Rhea* did that is because *Cronus* received a revelation that he will be dethroned by his son. Since then *Cronus* has been killing his children by swallowing them,and all the children given birth by Rhea was swallowed by him. That was how *Zeus* escaped death from being swallowed by his father *Cronus*. Life history of Zeus *Zeus* grew up and got married to Hera and gave birth to three children which are; *Ares**,* *Hebe**, and* *Hephaestus**. He also had many children like* *Athena**,* *Apollo**,* *Artemis**,* *Hermes**,* *Persephone**,* *Dionysus**,* *Perseus**,* *Heracles**,* *Helen of Troy**,* *Minos**, and the* *Muses*. These children are all a result of promiscuous activities with other women. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebe_(mythology) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_of_Troy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minos https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse These children later turned to other gods and goddesses that are now myths. *Zeus* became the chief of all Greek gods. All gods acknowledged him as their father to guide them and maintain order between gods. Let us talk about how he became the chief of all gods. How could *Zeus* be the chief of all gods when his father is still alive, don't forget that cronus didn't know that one of his children survived. *Zeus* later injured his father by poisoning him and that led to the vomiting of his brothers and sisters that has been swallowed,then he saved his father's brothers that has been imprisoned in a dungeon in *Tartarus.That* was when he received thunder bolt and thunder from his father's brother *cyclopes* that he saved as a gift of thanks, this thunder and thunderbolt has been hidden by *Gaia* and was now given to *zeus*. An earthshaking battle occured between *Cronus* and *Zeus*. cronus collaborated with the titans and fought against *Zeus,his* brothers and sisters,and Cronus brothers that was rescued by Zeus which the war ended with the death of *cronus* and the *titans* were banished to Tartarus. That was how *Zeus* became the king of all gods. During *Zeus* regime,his authority was challenged by other gods like *Gaia,Hera,poisedon,Athena,Typhon,Porphyrion*, but he overcomes all this challenge and became the victor. As we see *Zeus* passed through all hardships, challenges,trials to become the king of gods. He endured and cleared a lot of obstacles to lead others *Zeus* who is known as the king of gods, god of the sky,god of lightning,god of thunder,god of law, god of order and god of justice has a lot of symbol like bull,oak,eagle ,thunder bolt. **In conclusion**: did you know that the *Statue of Zeus was regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World*.  Mythology of gods and goddesses (series) Thanks for reading 🙏💗 Kindly subscribe and expect our next series on the mythology of gods and goddesses **(Athena)** Love you guys✌️💗💗

The mythology of gods and goddesses (introduction) Before science and technology, there were myths. Today we see them as fiction and imagination from people, but in the past myths were a way to explain all the natural phenomena that surrounded mankind and it's environment. Though this myths are present in lot of books regarding ancient Greek history and cultural background of time. I will be writing about a lot of things about Greek mythology and their culture Greek Mythology” explore the Greek gods and the Ancient Greek legends by delving into the tales told by Greek and Roman poets and historians, including Homer. They told tales about the creation of the universe, how the Titans were the first gods before the Olympians, and how the Titans and Olympians went to war with one another. Greek mythology, body of stories concerning the gods, heroes, and rituals of the ancient Greeks. That the myths contained a considerable element of fiction was recognized by the more critical Greeks, such as the philosopher Plato in the 5th–4th century BCE. In general, however, in the popular piety of the Greeks, the myths were viewed as true accounts. Greek mythology has subsequently had extensive influence on the arts and literature of Western civilization, which fell heir to much of Greek culture. In conclusion ; At the center of Greek mythology is the pantheon of deities who were said to live on Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. From their perch, they ruled every aspect of human life. Olympian gods and goddesses looked like men and women (though they could change themselves into animals and other things) and were–as many myths recounted–vulnerable to human foibles and passions.
