Mythology in Jamaa...XD

              This was my description of Zeus from our school mythology unit! He made me think of Zios, so I decided to post about it! I JUST REALIZED....THEY EVEN HAVE A SIMILAR NAME! O_O "ZIOS" AND "ZEUS".....
 THEIR FATES MUST BE CONNECTED! XP 

 Zeus/Jupiter (A vision of Zios) X3

·      In Greek mythology, this god is known as Zeus

·      His Roman equivalent is Jupiter

·      In the Greek Pantheon, Zeus is the ruler over the

kingdom of the gods, also known as Mount Olympus.

He is the god of the sky and thunder, often seen carrying

a large, powerful thunderbolt. Zeus is the son of the Titans

Cronos and Rhea, the husband of Hera, and the father of

Athene, Hephaestus, Ares, and Aris (in addition to many

demigod children)

·      Cronos, the ruler of the Titans, receives a prophecy from his

father Oranos, whom he had previously killed for power. The

prophecy predicts that one of Cronos’ children will overthrow

him, so Cronos decides to consume each of his children, one by

one. However, Rhea makes an attempt to save her final child, a

son named Zeus.

·      Rhea dashes down the mountainside and hangs Zeus in a golden

cradle in an olive tree. She then gives Cronos a stone wrapped in

blankets, which he swallows whole, thinking it is Zeus.

·      After saving her final child, Rhea gives Zeus to a shepherd family,

promising that their sheep will never be eaten by wolves. He is raised

there, until finally he returns to Cronos and Rhea as a “cupbearer.”

·      One day, Zeus and Rhea create a mixture of nectar, mustard, and salt

and give it to Cronos, which causes him to vomit up first the stone,

and then the rest of the gods he had consumed. (Hestia, Demeter, Hera,

Hades, and Poseidon)

·      As a result, a massive war rages all throughout the land. Cronos and

the Titans team up against the gods and their allies, the Hundred-handed

ones. The battle is fierce and long, but the gods manage to lead the Titans

into one final trap, lead by Zeus, that involves an ambush of the

Hundred-handed ones. Zeus is then named king, and decides to reign in

the Sky.

·      I’m not particularly fond of Zeus. I think that he’s slightly arrogant and

self-absorbed. I think that the Greeks were trying to present people with

a very powerful, strong leader, but also as an example of the importance of humility. Zeus may exemplify strength, but he is also an example of what not to do. His pride often gets in his way, and he is quite unfaithful to Hera.

To tell you the truth, Zeus reminds me of Zios, and Mira reminds me of Hera. Zios and Hera are kinder and more spiritual I'm sure, but they possess very similar overall qualities. See the resemblance? XDD

BOW DOWN TO ZIOS...(AND POSSIBLY ZEUS) XD
