Who Is Zeus?
Today, the subject is Zeus, the greatest and most powerful God of Greek mythology, but as strange as that. The Greeks have prayed to this selfish, arrogant and flirty God for thousands of years.
Let's look at his birth and some legends to get to know him a little bit closer. It is known as the father of the Gods and the people. This title also gives the right to one hand. Even though I just called him a womanizer, he's not.
Man or God seeks every woman, no matter what. They change shapes, they go into their beds, they force rough, they rape.
It's not much of a womanizer... ... but its god-like qualities only have supernatural powers. Other than that, he has a pretty bad character. These aspects are more human.

The Romans call him Jupiter. His wife is the head goddess Hera. When you examine the character of the two in a little detail, rather than the divine characteristics, the human characteristics come to the fore. The God of lightning and thunder. Like any god, he has the power to deter and rule.
To fear him, you only need to raise your head and look into the sky, to be overwhelmed by the power and obscurity of what you see. Human beings, who know little about the world, have created these gods by being greatly influenced by the seas, the sky and natural disasters.

Now we will know more about this God, who, starting with his birth for thousands of years, has ruled the Great Land of faith.
The Birth Of Zeus
When her mother, goddess Rhea, gave birth to Zeus, she immediately smuggled him to Crete and closed him to a cave. There was a fairy looking at baby Zeus. The name of the faerie was Amaltheia, and this forest faerie fed her baby with goat's milk. But it's not like a normal goat, it's like a horrible creature, and it's too big.
Even more interesting is that The Sun God was a goat born from Helios, and he even scared the Titans with his appearance. When Zeus grew up and went to war to establish his own kingdom, he made a shield from the skin of this goat.
He defended himself against the Titans with this shield. He then used this shield in Athena and even killed a monster named Gorgo and put his head on this shield.

Zeus is the sixth child of Rhea. His father, Kronos, was a second generation of gods. In Kronos, his father defeated Uranos and established his kingdom. In Zeus, one day he will rise up by doing just what his father did, and by taking over the kingdom, he will declare the kingdom of the gods of Olympos, the third generation.
Kronos stood up to his father and took his place. Kronos, who foresaw that his end would come the same way, swallowed five children... praying to Mother Mother Gaia and starry Uranus, so that her mother and son Zeus would not share the same fate with her brothers. They sent Rhea to Lykos on Crete Island.
The birth took place here, and many warriors who happily met Zeus ' birth made noise by hitting their shields and making sure that the cries of the baby God were not heard. That's where the GOAT I just told you about Fed Zeus.
Of course, there is a troubled father waiting to swallow his newborn child with appetite. That's a big problem that needs to be addressed. But Rhea has an idea.
After birth, a stone wrapped in a cloth like a baby and managed to swallow Kronos. Then the growing Zeus acted against his father as expected. His goal was to make all his brothers vomit back, and he managed to do it.
The Battle of Zeus with Kronos
As soon as he attacked his father, the Titans were divided. Some of them went to the side of Zeus and fought alongside him. But the fact that some Titans went to him did not mean that he had the power to fight against his father.
He went through a variety of ways to get stronger. The most important of them was the deepening of the land of the dead. Tartaros, the deepest place in the country of the dead, came and released Kyklops and Hexagonheirs held here by Kronos.
In return, the Cyklops gave Zeus lightning and lightning. This power will become the symbol of time in which it is connected with it. With their support, he managed to beat the Titans. They were all taken under the ground and chained to death. Three Hekatonkheirs were placed on their heads. These were powerful creatures with hundred arms.
Zeus, The Ruler Of The Universe
He finally defeated his father and freed his brothers. He was now the sole ruler of the universe. There was no power to stand in front of him. He immediately gathered his brothers and distributed the duties of BR among them.
They were the gods of Olympos now. He took the heavens to him, and gave the seas to his brother Poseidon, and gave the earth to Hades. All the Earth and Olympos were supposed to be the common property of the gods.

Then he became a wife of Zeus. According to the famous Archangel goddess Hera... homer, only one married her. Heseidos says that Zeus has many marriages. First he married Metis. Metis symbolizes wisdom.
After hearing the prophecy of a boy born of methis, who will defeat him and conquer his throne, the marriage does not end well. When methis gave birth, Zeus came and swallowed him.…
Generating and creative Zeus
Then he starts his second marriage, Zeus. His name is Themis, and he symbolizes justice. Then she'il have another marriage. This time he marries eurynome. His fourth wife is Mnemosyne, and Moses, who has nine wives from his marriage with him, is born.
Then he'il be with his brother Demeter. Persephone is born from this marriage. Yeah, you know, the one Hades kidnappings and his wife Persephone?…
His last wife Hera, the fire God Hephaistos, the war god Ares, the youth Goddess Heebe and the midwife goddess Eileithia are born. Then he goes and goes with the Atlas's daughter, Maia, and Hermes is born in this relationship. Athena comes out of her head.
And then she comes along with Semele and Dionysos is born from this relationship. The effect of goat's milk is unknown, but Zeus has caused many gods, mortals, and half-god to be born. I'il get back to this later. Now, let's go a little while we're in the relationship with the judge of lightning.
zeus
He's been with Antiope. However, marriage or love is not in question. At night Antiope enters his bed when he sleeps Satyr. By the way satyr half goat half man is a creepy mythological creature…
Zeus and IO
Another woman he's obsessed with is Io. He is the daughter of Inakhos, King of Io Agros, and the sister of the temple of Hera. I mean, it's a terrible God who can turn his back on a nun who adores his wife.
It enters the cloud and comes with IO. When Hera realizes that jealousy and hatred are terrible and asks her, she says she doesn't know Io and never sees it. (Which don ? He's already turned the poor girl into a white cow to hide IO from Hera.
Hera pretends to believe this ridiculous lie and tells him to give him the cow. Zeus accepts it immediately and gives it to the cow. And Hera, a greedy Guard, erected Agros to the head of the cow, Io. Although then Zeus saves her with Hermes.
There's a callsto. Daughter of lykoon, King Of Arcadia. The Hunter Goddess is a hunter woman following Artemis. Zeus disguises himself as Artemis by using the replacement number and goes with Calllist…
Zeus and Hera
What's more... are endless. These may be the subject of a separate article. What are we supposed to understand? I like to think about it better.
When you read and study Zeus and Hera, you will see that both of them have a serious personality disorder. While Hera harbors all the bad traits of women, Zeus harbors all the bad traits of men. They look like cheesy and noisy parents. Sexuality is undoubtedly a creation element for that period.
zeus
The gods were also breeding people and other gods. A man with so many children could not possibly be a man suitable for monogamy in their eyes.
He is a selfish, arrogant, cheeky God who deceives his wife Hera at every turn, but is so afraid of his wife, who, in line with her sexual desires and her own interests, tries to get what she wants to achieve.
Hades is almost better than him in many ways. She has a strange marriage with her sister Hera. You can read this from the article I wrote about Hera. It is not seen that Zeus behaved very heroic and behaved very noble and honorable. Even if it is seen, it is not worthy of a God.
What ancient people say about them and their approach to the Gods is very interesting. Especially with Hera, it's like they're fed by fear, not love. The character of Zeus changes before and after the board. They are ruthless, manipulative, scheming, selfish gods.
However, the main issue to focus on again is that old people have strong ties to sexuality, fertility and creativity. It is a normal idea for a man to be with the female as much as possible and create new things. It's as if Hera's jealousy is to build fun stories.
Zeus created new and important things after these relationships, as he was a creator, no matter what woman he was with. For example, let me give you an example of this.
We said that Zeus ' second wife was Themis, who symbolized Justice. Hora and Moiras have been formed from this unity. In other words, ”discipline, Justice and peace”, that is, Zeus was also producing new concepts.
zeus
They must have thought that the world living at that time could only be created by the unbalanced gods.
Title and adjectives of Zeus
Zeus was also referred to by many titles and titles among the people. For example, "Thunder in the sky", "lightning in the sky", "lightning in the clouds", "goat leather shield carrying", "rain in the Sky", "remote thunder", "wind in the sky" or "sky Belt Lining" are some of these.
