Zeus



Zeus is the greatest god in Greek mythology. His parents were Cronus and Rhea.When Zeus was born, Cronus was the strongest god. Cronus swallowed up his children right after they were born so that they could not rebel against him. Rhea did not want her children to get swallowed so when her fifth child, Zeus, was born she tricked Cronus. She tricked her husband into swallowing a rock instead of their child, Zeus. Then later Zeus overthrew his father, Cronus, and became the ruler of the heavens. Later, Zeus married Hera. He had many children. Many rebelled against him, but he was never overthrown.
Hercules is Zeus's son so, naturally, they are quite similar. They both are in lowly (or bad) situations ar first, but then they overcome their harships and are rewarded with fame and honor. Zeus and Hercules both are strong and great, but get into trouble because of liking someone. The way in which Hercules and Zeus are most different is that Zeus is a god, but Hercules is (or chooses to remain) as a mortal.
