Zeus (Ancient Greek: Ζε?, Greek: Δ?α?, English: Zeus) is the king of gods in ancient Greek mythology. The head of the twelve main gods of Olympus, the supreme god who rules all things in the universe (in ancient Greek mythology, the main god refers specifically to Zeus), people often call him "the father of gods and humans" and "god king" in Greek mythology. The greatest of gods.

Because the ancient Greeks worshiped Zeus, they described Zeus as their ancestor in mythology. Many gods in Olympus and many Greek heroes were his children with different women. He uses thunderbolts as weapons to maintain order in heaven and earth, and the bull and eagle are his symbols. His brothers Poseidon and Hades ruled over the ocean and the underworld respectively.
