Power: Zeus has the power of weather,sky and lighting
==Thousands of years ago many people believed in a god named Zeus. He was considered to be the god of the sky and weather and his image appeared on most Greek coins. The people of Greece worshiped this idol as their god. Zeus became one of the seven Wonders of the World.==

==Phidias,a famous Greek sculpture and his laborers carved a giant statue of Zeus in a special workshop behind the temple. It was made entirely of ivory and gold (Chrysanthemum). When finished it sat in the temple on an elaborate throne along with sculptures and paintings of Greek myths and legends. Zeus was the most celebrated statue of ancient times because of it's greatness, Charm and worth.==

==Zeus was the supreme god the ruler of Olympus. He was known by many titles: Lord of the sky, the Cloud-gatherer, the rain-god and Zeus the Thunder, all of which show which force of nature was considered to be the most important in Ancient World - rain. In most other mythologies the ruler-god was usually associated with the sun, but in Greece the climate is hot and dry making rain the scarce, life-giving force.==

==Zeus was the sixth child born to Cronus and Rhea. Because Cronus, ruler of the Titans and the supreme god at the time, was afraid that one of his children would overthrow him. just like he overthrew his farther, Uranus, he swallowed his first five children - Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter and Hestia. This of course infuriated Rhea and when Zeus was born She tricked Cronus into Swallowing a rock wrapped in blankets. Zeus is more powerful than any other god or even all the other gods combined. But unlike many gods in other religions he was neither omnipotent nor omniscient. He could be, and in fact was opposed deceived and tricked by gods and men alike. His power, although great was not boundless Zeus had no control over The Fates and Destiny.==

==Zeus was the guardian of political order and peace. The aegis is his breastplate - so glorious and at the same time awful to behold that no human magnificence and survive. His weapon is of course the thunderbolt which he hurled at whoever were displeased him. The thunderbolts were fashioned for him the three Cyclopes who also were the deciding power in the battle with the Titian. His bird is the Eagle, his tree - the Oak. Dodoma was his oracle. His will was revealed by the rusting of oak leaves which was interpreted by his priests.==
