Zeus, the King of the Gods
Zeus is the top god on Mount Olympus and the reason why the Olympians overthrew the Titans. He was protected from his father Cronus by having his mother Rhea trick him with a rock, allowing Zeus to grow up on a remote island. Zeus later challenged Cronus, freed his siblings from their father's stomach, and became the king of the gods. However, Zeus had a reputation for getting into trouble and having affairs with mortals and goddesses, resulting in numerous children.
