Zeus became the ruler of all the Greek gods of Olympus by winning the war against the Titans (“Hesiod”). He drew lots with his brothers. The sky was given to Zeus, the sea was given to Poseidon, and the underworld was given to Hades (Zeus – Greek Mythology). Zeus was considered to be a sky-god (Littleton 975). The lightning bolt, which was forged for Zeus by the Cyclopes, was his weapon (Mythology: Zeus). The Ancient Greeks believed that Zeus was all-knowing and all-seeing (Philips). Although Zeus was married to his sister, Hera, he continued to have many affairs which made Hera very angry and jealous (Daly 136). Zeus played many tricks in order to hide his infidelity from his wife (Hamilton 26). Hera’s jealousy often led to vengeance on Zeus’ lovers (“Zeus” 105). She also was a relentless enemy to some of the children born out of these affairs, particularly Zeus’s son Heracles (Barnett 49).
