Zeus
The Greek chief deity of sky, weather, thunder, oath, order, and Olympian sovereignty.
Legend File
Zeus turns the sky into law. From Olympus he governs storms, oaths, hospitality, kingship, and the fragile balance among gods and mortals. His myths can be majestic, troubling, comic, or violent, but they all make one thing clear: weather and rule belong together in the Greek imagination, and thunder is never only weather.
Source Framing
Greek religion and mythology around Zeus as chief deity of the pantheon, sky and weather god of Olympus, thunderbolt wielder, oath and kingship figure, and later Roman Jupiter identification.
