The Olympic Family

Zeus: King of the Gods (and Complicated Family Dinners)


Listen Later

He rules the skies, commands thunder, and once got raised by a goat. In this episode, I introduce you to my grandfather (and uncle... and yeah, don't ask), Zeus--the god who holds Olympus together with power, pride, and the occasional tantrum. We'll follow his journey from baby-in-a-cave to ruler of the gods, unpack his stormy relationship with mortals (and Titans), and ask the question: what does it really mean to lead?

From swallowing prophecies to punishing rebels, from divine court drama to Prometheus's eternal liver problem, this is Zeus as you've never heard him--flawed, thunderous, and maybe, just maybe... still learning.

Next time: Hera. Trust me--you'll want to hear her side of the story.
