I was reading the Iliad by Homer the other day and throughout the whole story Zeus keeps saying or foreshadowing that "the city of Troy is fated to fall." And as we know, Zeus is, in Greek Mythology, the supreme god and the most powerful one too. There is almost virtually nothing that he can't do. But on the other hand, fate is inevitable, fate is something that unavoidably befalls. Is Zeus acting on fate? And can gods change fate since they are so supreme? or is fate the actual will of Zeus? I hope you sorta understand what im talking about here. It is so confusing because I cant see how fate and powerful gods co-exist.
