Zeus is one of the 12 gods in Mt. Olympus. Cronus was the new king instead of his old father Uranus. He was supposed to save his siblings trapped underground but he didn’t so his mother Gaia put a curse on him. She said “As you took your father’s power one of your children will take you over and take your power.” So Cronus got scared and swallowed all five of the babies and Rhea was really ashamed so the 6th baby she asked her mother to take care of him and the 6th baby was Zeus. Rhea gave a rock rapped with a quilt to Cronus to swallow and he did. Zeus lived with the nymph’s in the mountain until he fell in love with Metis. They both got married and Metis helped Zeus rescue his siblings. Metis made this drink out of a magical grass which makes you vomit I guess; because right after Cronus drank this drink he vomited Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. Zeus gave his brothers and sisters weapons and overthrew their father Cronus. After Cronus ran away Zeus becomes the king of the sky and land. Poseidon becomes the king of the ocean, and Hades becomes the king of the dead.
Zeus and Hercules are both great strong characters. They both have great strength. Hercules has the strongest power and Zeus can throw thunderbolts at someone or something. Hercules was popular to girls because he killed a lot of Greek monsters. Zeus was very popular because he was the king of the sky and land and had great power. The difference in their characteristics is that Hercules only loved one girl, but Zeus liked more than one girl. Zeus is short-tempered, wise, and serious. But on the other hand Hercules is responsible, humorous, and pleasant.
