Name Origin[]

He resembles Zeus, a Greek god, the "Father of Gods and men" who rules the Olympians of Mount Olympus as a father rules the family according to the ancient Greek religion. He is the god of sky and thunder. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. Cronus devoured his children - the gods Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades and Poseidon, as soon as they were born, but sixth Zeus was hidden. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed. Later Zeus sat his siblings free and in war called the Titanomachy they overthrew Cronus and the other Titans and imprisoned them in Tartarus.
