Zeus

Zeus was the king of the gods, the god of sky and weather, law, order and fate. He is usually depicted as regal and mature with a sturdy figure and beard. His usual attributes were a lightning bolt, royal scepter, and eagle.

 * The Great Deluge in which he flooded the earth to destroy mankind and begin the world anew;
 * His conflict with Prometheus over the theft of benefactions for mankind;
 * The punishment of Salmoneus, Tantalos and Ixion, men who offended the god with their impiety;
 * The birth and life of Herakles, his favoured son, who he had transferred to Olympos at death;
 * His extramarital affairs with women such as Leda, seduced in the form of a swan; Europa, as a bull; Danae, as a golden shower; Kallisto, as Artemis; and Antiope as a satyr;
