Zeus, in ancient Greek religion, is the king of the gods and the ruler of Mount Olympus. He is the god of the sky, thunder, lightning, law, order, and justice. Zeus is the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. According to myth, he led a revolt against his father Cronus, overthrowing him and establishing a new pantheon of gods. His symbols include the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak tree, and he is often depicted wielding a lightning bolt. Zeus played a central role in many Greek myths, exerting his influence over both gods and humans, and was worshipped extensively throughout the ancient Greek world.
