Zeus is the youngest of Cronus and Rhea's three sons. He and his two older brothers, Hades and Poseidon, split up the world for themselves when they grew up; Hades getting the underworld and everything under the earth, Poseidon getting the seas, and Zeus getting the sky. Zeus became the Greek God of the sky, lightning and thunder, law and order, and fate. Zeus then overthrew his father taking the entire throne for himself and becoming the King of the Gods and ruler of Olympus.
Cronus and Rhea also had three daughters, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera. Zeus tricked Hera and she had to marry him out of pity. Zeus and Hera had many children, including Ares and Hephaestus. Zeus also had many affairs with other woman so his other children are, twins Apollo and Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes, and Dionysus. His one odd child is Athena, for she sprouted from the top of Zeus' head fully grown and in battle armor, with no mother. Out of the Council of Thirteen, Zeus fathered eight, all of them that weren't his siblings.
Zeus' main weapon is his Lightning Bolt, which he uses to strike every lightning storm on the Earth. It the most powerful of all of the weapons of the gods. Some animals that are sacred to him are the eagle and the bull. The Eagle is also Zeus' symbol and was created by him.
