Zeus

Zeus, king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus, is the god of the sky and thunder. His Roman counterpart is Jupiter, while his Hindu counterpart is Indra. He is the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, whom he overthrew with the help of his brothers and sisters during the war of the gods. Some of his symbols include the thunderbolt, eagle, oak tree, and scepter.

History
Cronus, king of the Titans, had fathered several children by Rhea, queen of the Titans: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. However, he swallowed them all as soon as they were born, having learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by one of his sons as he had overthrown his own father - An oracle that Zeus would hear and avert. Just before Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought out Gaia to form a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his bad deeds against Uranus and his children. Following some of Gaia's advice, Rhea hid and gave birth to Zeus in Crete, afterwards handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed, believing it to be Zeus.

Once he reached adulthood, Zeus forced Cronus to disgorge first the stone and his siblings in reverse order of swallowing. Next, he released the brothers of Cronus, the Gigantes, Hecatonchires, and Cyclopes, from their dungeon in Tartarus.

The Cyclopes gave to Zeus thunder and the thunderbolt in recognition for their release, which had previously been hidden by Gaia. Zeus and his brothers and sisters, as well as the Gigantes, Hecatonchires, and Cyclopes, f ought alongside eachother in the war that had Cronus and the other Titans overthrown. The defeated Titans were then cast into a shadowy underworld region known as Tartarus. Atlas, one of the titans that fought against Zeus, was punished by having to hold up the sky for all eternity.

Following their victory, Zeus then decided to share the world with his elder brothers. He, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots to see who would recieve what. Zeus ended up with the sky and air; Poseidon the waters; Hades the world of the dead (the underworld). Gaia, however, would not be claimed; Being the "ancient Earth", so to speak, she was left to all three according to their capabilities. This explains why Poseidon was the "earth-shaker" (the god of earthquakes), and Hades claimed the sould of those who were deceased.

Children
The demigod children of Zeus generally inherit black hair and blue or sometimes green eyes. They are usually independant, somewhat stubborn, and possess a lot of adrenaline and higher endurance levels. However, being as their dad just happens to be king of the gods, monsters are more drawn to them, making a "normal life" completely impossible.
