Zeus God of All Gods

Zeus is the supreme ruler. He was the Lord of the Sky. the Rain-god and the Cloud-gatherer, he alone weilded the awful thunderbolt. His power was greater than that of all the divinities together. In the Iliad he tells his family, "I am mightiest of all. Make trial that you may know. Fasten a rope of gold to heaven and lay hold, every god and goddess. You could not drag down Zeus. But if I wished to drag you down, then I would. The rope I would bind to a pinnacle of Olympus and all would hang in air, yes, the very earth and the sea too." Nevertheless he was not omnipotent or omniscient, either. He could be opposed and deceived. He is represented as falling in love with one woman after another and descending to all manner of tricks to hide his infedelity from his wife. His breastplate was the aegis, awful to behold; his bird was the eagle, his tree the oak. His oracle was Dodona in the land of oak trees. The god's will was revealed by the rustling of the oak leaves which the priests interpreted.
