What was Zeus's role in myths?

Question

Can anyone tell me like two two myths about Zeus and what was his roles were in the myths?

Answer 1

zeus 's father wanted to eat him when he was a boy but his mother saved him by feeding his father a stone instead of his son.
When Zeus grows up he kills his father Cronus with his lightning bolt and defeats the titans locking them away inside a mountain and becoming king of the gods.

Answer 2

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 collector" 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.

Answer 3

sperm donator....heh sorry couldn't resist.

He was the father of the minotar umm....but showing us as a white bull. I think there were different ideas of sexy back then.

Father of Hercules
Father of most of the Olympian gods

Zeus and Hera played God Chess with Jason's life.
Zeus was the yongest child and was never eaten by Cronos. (mom hid him) Zues then tricked Cronos and all his brothers and sisters were spit back out and assumed control of the godly universe.

Come to think of it, there aren't really all that many "myths" about Zeus, other than he was a loose pair pants and spawned many of the mythical heroes and monsters the heroes slew. He was like a name that was thrown in by bards who wanted to look favorable.

Answer 4

I understand that he got along well with Jupiter.
