What was the image of Zeus in ancient Greece?

The image of Zeus written by the ancient Greeks is essentially the king or Lord of Achaia. Because the ancient Greeks and Romans worshipped Zeus, the myth said that Zeus was their ancestor. Many Olympian gods and many Greek heroes are children of him and different women.

He used lightning as a weapon to maintain the order of heaven and earth, and bulls and eagles were his symbols. His two brothers Poseidon and Hades were in charge of the ocean and the underworld respectively. The constellation guarded by Zeus is Sagittarius.

Wife, lover and children

Zeus had seven wives, namely Metis, themis, Eurynome, Demeter, Monnemo, Leto and Hera.

Among them, only the seventh Hera was named "Tianhou". Because when Zeus proposed to Hera, he promised to share his power and honor with Hera, and Hera, as the ruler of Olympus, always accompanied Zeus and helped Zeus defeat Cronus to become the third generation king of gods.

In addition to Tianhou and his other wives, Zeus had quite a few lovers. These lovers had many illegitimate children with him, and they were said to be ancestors from all over the world. Two of the previous generation gods 12 (Titan 12) and nine of the new generation gods 12 are their wives or children.
