As the sky god, Zeus, whose weapon was lighting, mastered the rain and other astronomical phenomena to Maintain the order of heaven and earth. The bull and the eagle was his mark.1.2 The marriage of ZeusIn a manner of speaking, Zeus was a very flower heart man, who had a lot of wives including the intelligence goddess Metis, the justice goddess Themis, the ocean goddess Euryonme, the agriculture and forestry goddess Demeter, the memory goddess Mnemosyne, the night goddess Leto and queen of heaven Hera, who was the last and the most famous wife.

Of course, it was also a authoritarian rule. Human beings must absolute obedience and worship. Once the human went against his a little bit idea, he would not spare to human destruction. But Greeks still sincerely grateful for the kindness of Zeus, because after Deucalion couple built the human beings, Zeus started slowly endure humans, as long as human wholeheartedly believed in him, he will try to appease rather than in atrocities. Prometheus, Zeuss cousin, the deity who ever helped Zeus defeat his father, taught human a lot of knowledge and helped people stealing the fire from Olympus, which offended Zeus because Zeus ban human to use the fire.

He was the master of all gods, but sometimes he like a child did something irresponsible and innocent. These contradictions performance that Zeus, who both need to maintain the dignity and want to desire human emotional, was full of complex human nature,3.
