what did zues specialize in?

Question

im doing a greece project and need to know what the ancient greek god zeus specialized in.

Answer 1

Zeus (in Greek: nominative: Ζεύς Zeús, genitive: Διός Díos), is the king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus, and god of sky and thunder in Greek mythology. His symbols are the thunderbolt, bull, eagle and the oak.

The son of Cronus and Rhea, he was the youngest of his siblings. He was married to Hera in most traditions, although at the oracle of Dodona his consort was Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Aphrodite by Dione. Accordingly, he is known for his erotic escapades, including one pederastic relationship, with Ganymede. His trysts resulted in many famous offspring, including Athena, Apollo and Artemis, Hermes, Persephone (by Demeter), Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen, Minos, and the Muses (by Mnemosyne); by Hera he is usually said to have sired Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus.

His Roman counterpart was Jupiter, and his Etruscan counterpart was Tinia.

Zeus played a dominant role, presiding over the Greek Olympian pantheon. He fathered many of the heroes and heroines and was featured in many of their stories. Though the Homeric "cloud collecter" was the god of the sky and thunder like his Near-Eastern counterparts, he was also the supreme cultural artifact; in some senses, he was the embodiment of Greek religious beliefs and the archetypal Greek deity.

The epithets or titles applied to Zeus emphasized different aspects of his wide-ranging authority:

Zeus Olympios emphasized Zeus's kingship over both the gods and the Panhellenic festival at Olympia.
A related title was Zeus Panhellenios, ('Zeus of all the Hellenes') to whom Aeacus' famous temple on Aegina was dedicated.
As Zeus Xenios, Zeus was the patron of hospitality and guests, ready to avenge any wrong done to a stranger.
As Zeus Horkios, he was the keeper of oaths. Liars who were exposed were made to dedicate a statue to Zeus, often at the sanctuary of Olympia.
As Zeus Agoraios, Zeus watched over business at the agora, and punished dishonest traders.
As Zeus Meilichios, "Easy-to-be-entreated", he subsumed an archaic chthonic daimon propitiated in Athens, Meilichios.

Answer 2

Zeus and his 5 siblings and some strong allies, e.g. Cyclops and Hekatoncheires, rebelled against Zeus' father Cronus and the Titans. Zeus and his 2 brothers divided the universe...when they won the 10 year war. Hades got the underworld where dead people go. Poseidon received the seas as his domain. Zeus was king of the heavens and overall ruler of the universe. He resided on Mount Olympus. The one-eyed giants called Cyclops forged mighty darts for Zeus. They were thunderbolts, and no enemy could stand against such mighty weapons, even Typhon the biggest and mightiest monster that ever existed. The fire from his wounds causes volcanos in Mount Aetna.

Answer 3

Zues was the youngest son of Cronus, the original big god. There were twelve other siblings (Olympians) and because he was so jealous, Cronus ate them all except Zues. Once Zues found out about it and poisons he father. His father becomes so sick that he coughs up his children. After that, there is war between the family. In the end, Cronus is defeated and Zues takes his place as king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus. He is known for his being extemely proactive with earth women and sired most of the great heros of Greek mythology, including Hercules, Hermes, Apollo, and other famous persons.
