Chapter 2 Compare And Contrast Zeus And Greek Mythology

Zeus immediately started to become furious and his face started to become red. The Gods didn't know what they did wrong but Zeus suddenly began throwing his lightning bolts at the Gods. One after the other, Zeus would strike them right on their rear ends. During this temper tantrum Zeus was having, he missed the Gods more than hitting them. Ounce Zeus calmed down and realized he was overreacting, he took a moment to see what he did the the humans and all the trees and stuff like that. Instead of seeing mostly all Green, he saw flames of the fire he started. The humans houses were burning down, and everything was destroyed. Zeus almost started crying because he felt bad for what he had done. From that day on ,Zeus never threw lightning bolts again but, sometimes while its raining out and it's all gloomy, Zeus sometimes throws a couple lightning strikes thinking that if anything would catch on fire, the rain would put it

“The supreme deity of Greek mythology has his lusty, tempestuous story recast in engaging fashion by Stone”(ProQuest). Zeus was thought of as the father of gods and men. While he did not make them, he protected them, and therefore was considered a father to them. He ruled over the sky and air, and controlled everything that happened in his domains from his throne on Mount Olympus. To gain his throne, he overthrew his father, Cronos, with the help of his siblings, and then dividing up the realms between him and his two elder brothers. Zeus became lord of the sky and rain, Poseidon took the title lord of the sea, and Hades became ruler of the underworld. He then banished his father to the shadowy Tartarus in the underworld. Zeus was the most

Thetis goes to Zeus and propositions him, "…if ever amid mortals by word or deed I served you, grant my wish and see my sons honor!" (Book I; 466-68) Zeus in turn responds,

Zeus is the highest form of power among the gods, the ruler of both mortals and immortals. Through The Iliad, Zeus thinks he is in charge, but he is afraid of prophecies and fate. In the backstory of The Iliad, most know that Zeus wanted to have sex with Thetis, but he was afraid that the child they would bear together would be stronger than himself, as the prophecy stated ‘the first son of Thetis will be stronger than his father’. Dictated by his fate, Zeus refrained from having sex with her and married her off to another man so they would have a child together. Zeus is constantly expression that he is afraid of being undermined, but he is also to arrogant at points to admit that he’s not as powerful as he portrays himself. He’s fearful that someone will uncover his weaknesses and not respect him. By the start of The Iliad, Zeus is still afraid of people viewing him negatively, mortals and gods alike.

everyone knows how insecure Zeus can get, it is just a bad move on his part. After all if god is all powerful he cannot be all good and should he be all good, he is not all powerful. Frankenstein proved to be “all powerful” but in escaping his problems is not all good. Meanwhile, Prometheus proves to be “all good” to man, yet is powerless to the power of Zeus and his love for man.

The manner in which Hesiod presents Zeus’s thoughts regarding his interaction with Prometheus help to provide us with a better understanding of Zeus’s characteristics. Lines 530-531 of Theogony, which describe the eventual freedom of Prometheus, stipulate that this came “not without the will of Zeus,” enhancing the efficacy of Zeus’s ultimate power. Hesiod had previously mentioned Zeus’s intelligence, but he delves more deeply into this attribute in examining the conflict at Mekone between Zeus and Prometheus. “Zeus, eternally wise, recognized the fraud and began to rumble in his heart trouble for mortals, and it would be fulfilled.” (Hesiod 552-55). Here, Hesiod’s audience begins to understand Zeus as an extremely wise, but vengeful god, an image which agrees with Homer’s Iliadic Zeus, and all other accounts of the god in ancient Greek literature. Hesiod goes on, however, to extend

Zeus, the god of gods. Zeus is the son of Cronus and Rhea. He can control the sky in a blink. He has the ability to morph himself, as well as mortals, as he chooses. Zeus also has a powerful wife named Hera.

Zeus was not always the gray haired muscular man that he is seen as today. The first conception of the sky god did not have any form at all. The sky god was created by nomadic

Zeus was the supreme god and ruler of Olympus. He was known by many names: Lord of the Sky, the Rain-god, the Cloud-gatherer, and Zeus the Thunderer. Zeus was the sixth child born to Cronus and Rhea behind Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Dementer, and Hera. The high soaring eagle was sacred to him, and to the Romans he was known as Jupiter. Zeus was a strong, mighty, awesome, glorious, and wise god. Although, he was very foolish and naïve with hiding his love affairs from Hera.

Zeus the God of all Gods, and he was the one who told people what to do and when to do it. Zeus caught wind, that Hector was trying to control the surrounding people. Zeus was upset with the news that he had received.

One Day long ago there was a mighty god named Zeus the God of the Sky and ruler of the other gods like Prometheus the creator of mankind. Well Prometheus decide mankind was more like animals they needed to stand out from everyone else so Prometheus decided to give mankind fire but Zeus said no to prometheus because it would make mankind more dangerous but Prometheus was convinced mankind should stand out so he snuck behind and gave man fire and Zeus was furious at Prometheus and mankind for accepting the fire from Prometheus and Zeus was so mad he was about to kill mankind but he decided to have revenge and he chained Prometheus to a rock and sent a eagle to eat at his liver and everyday his body would regenerate and the eagle would come back

In order to rise to power Zeus had to first overthrow the ruler Cronos and the Titans. How he did this was with a clever strategy and with his might. What he did was gather a team of Gods to join his side. Then he made friends with the Cyclopes and other creatures. The combination of the Gods and boulders hurled from the powerful creatures was what led to Zeus becoming the ruler of the Gods.

Zeus, the Greek god of lightning and hospitality, ruled the sky. He was a strong, muscular god who could get any woman he set his eyes on. However, Zeus had a wife who was very jealous of his secret girlfriends. Her name was Hera, goddess of marriage and women's life. So, when Zeus went to frolic with his girlfriends on Earth, he had to come up with clever ideas to cover up his betrayals. Especially when it came to women who were prettier than Hera. Zeus knew Hera would kill the poor woman who he was cheating with. It took Zeus weeks for him to come up with such a clever idea, but when he did, he continuously used it. So when he met Halley, he used it a little too often.

Then, Zeus was the Ruler / King of Mount Olympus. Zeus gave birth to the son of Hercules.Who got kidnapped, but got found and fell in love with a girl in the stay with the humans.Zeus never said goodbye. It wasn’t a submission for him to be a god. Zeus also controls whether cause it was raining a huge storm, he made it go away.Control whether means like he could change the weather to anyway he wanted. Clarance and I were walking in I saw it started to rain, so we didn’t have an umbrella, so I wish to make it could be sunny and the weather had changed.

Zeus, god of all gods, it must be hard to control all the Greek gods. I personally would not be able to handle all those gods, I can barely control my dog! So anyway, I thought “hey wouldn’t it be nice if Zeus came to the school and controlled the teachers to give no homework!” Also, make a thunderstorm when we have to go outside for gym!
