2. Zeus is father of gods and
men. A sky god, he
controls lightning, which
he uses as a weapon, and
thunder. He is king
on Mount Olympus, the
home of the Greek gods.
He is also credited as the
father of Greek
heroes and the ancestor
of many other Greeks.
Zeus mated with many
mortals and goddesses
but is married to his
sister Hera.

3. • Zeus’ parents were Chrono and Rhea
• Zeus’ brothers were Poseidon and
Hades
• Zeus’ sisters were Hestia, Hera and
Demeter

4. • His symbols were the
thunderbolt, the eagle, the bull
and the oak.

5. • Chrono swallowed up his children had
nothing but born; therefore, Rhea asked
Gea for a counsel and she told her that
when Zeus were born, she would give her
husband a rock. So that, his son would
defeat him, as the prophecy said.
