Entry #1 Greek god Zeus!!


Zeus

Titans Cronus and Rhea's 12th son was Zeus, who was the youngest son. Cronus was god, so obviously, Zeus was born a god. When he was born, his dad, Cronus, was trying to swallow him like he swallowed many of other siblings. (Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, ext).

But when Rhea realized that Cronus was intended to swallow Zeus, she hid the baby in a cave on Mount Dicte in Crete. And instead of baby, she gave a stone to Cronus to swallow. When he had grown up, Zeus forced Cronus to vomit up his siblings by giving a medicine that makes you throw up. Later on, Titan and Zeus had a big fight, struggle for power. Zeus won the fight; since then, he was the best king of Olympians. Also he was the father of the heroes Perseus and Heracles.

Big similarities between Hercules and Jeus are power, and popularity. Zeus was the God of the sky and thunder. He controlled two scary natural disasters. Hercules had the strongest power in the world. They both have enormous strength. I think because of the power, and appearance (kind of good looking), they were popular to girls. Zeus had several girls, and even after he got married, he was such a flirt. For Hercules, he didn’t play around girls, but lots of girls liked him very much.
Differences between two characters is personality. Zeus is patient, serious, never gives-up, and a wise decision maker. And Hercules is funny, moderate, childish, and responsible.
Two characters personality revealed oppositelty.
