The All Powerful......Zeus!

Introduction

     When reading books like The Percy Jackson series, have you heard of the Greek gods? If so, have you heard the king of gods, and the most powerful, Zeus? His Roman name is Jupiter. In fact, the god Zeus is so powerful, he is often referred to as the "lord of the sky." When Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades all defeated their father, the powerful Titan, Cronus, they drew lots to decide who would be the supreme ruler of the gods. It was Zeus who won, and as a result, Zeus became the king of the gods. Although this god may be all powerful and stuff, what is his personality? Well, three characteristics of Zeus are: he was carefree and loved to laugh out loud, he was unpredictable because no one could predict his decisions, and he was merciful and prudent. But what made this god so powerful and respected? Well, many people agree that it was the fact that he was able to defeat his all powerful father, and lord of time, Cronus. He is also considered the supreme ruler of all the gods.

My Opinion

     There is always a question at hand. Is Zeus a fair and honest god or a unworthy and dishonest king of gods?I believe he is a honest and fair god because although he may be unpredictable, his decisions are almost always good and he knows what he is doing. According to these facts, I would most probably fear this god. This is because I think that Zeus is extremely powerful, considering the fact that he is the supreme lord of the gods and that he defeated the Titan, lord of time, Cronus and helped his brothers and sisters escape from Cronus. So, I would obviously fear this god because although all the gods have power he has the most, and could easily kill me with the snap of his fingers. However, even Zeus has a weakness, and a strength to go along with it. Zeus's greatest weakness is that he can get in trouble over love affairs and can be moody. However, his greatest strength is that he is highly powerful, charming, persuasive, and clever.
