👑 "A tyrant who devoured his pregnant wife to avoid prophecy, flooded the earth to wipe out humanity, and hurled thunderbolts at anyone who defied him."
Zeus was the King of the Gods and ruler of Mount Olympus, but his reign was anything but just. He imprisoned his own father, Cronus, in Tartarus [citation:9]. He seduced countless mortal women—Leda as a swan, Europa as a bull, Danae as a shower of gold [citation:9][citation:8]. When Prometheus gave fire to mankind, Zeus chained him to a rock with an eagle eating his liver daily [citation:9]. He even unleashed a great flood to destroy humanity, sparing only Deucalion and Pyrrha [citation:9]. This is the full story of the most powerful—and ruthless—god in Greek mythology.
