Zeus The king of the gods

Zeus is one of the most ancient gods of the world. His name can be found in other Indo-European nations, except the Greek. Some of those nations are the Indians, the Ombrius and the Latinos. So he must be worshiped at least from 3000 BC. He was brought in Greece around 2000 BC, from the settlers who came from northern then Greece countries. His name must come from the root word div- that means sky. The expression Zefs patir (father Zeus), that Greeks used to refer to him, accords exactly to the name Diespiter (Jupiter) that Romans used for him, Jupater for the Ombrius and Dyaous Pitar of the ancient Indians. He was the ruler of all Greek Gods, and father to most of them. He was god protector of the kings, that is why he was also called Zefs Megistos (Zeus the greatest) and Zeus Aristos (Zeus the Best).

Then Rhea gave the child to Gaia and she transferred it safe to the island of Crete. There the nymphs Idy and Adrastia who were feeding the baby with the milk of the goat Amalthea. Kourites (also called Korivantes) were safely guarding Zeus and when he was crying they were making noise by hitting their shields with their swords so Kronos wouldn't hear the cry of the baby. Zeus had many affairs with women, and his first wife Hera didn't live for a very long time. The first marriage of Zeus was with Mytida, daughter of Oceanus and Tithy, goddess of thinking. Not long after the weeding Zeus learned that his wife would give birth to two children. The first would be a doughtier and the second a son. That son that was to be born seemed like a threat to Zeus dominion. So to avoid a future similar to his father's, he ate his wife Mitida, like
