Rhea saved Zeus by, "substituting a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes for Cronus to swallow and hiding Zeus in a cave on Crete" where he was nursed and raised by a nymph (The Editors). Once becoming a man, Zeus "led a revolt against the Titans and succeeded in dethroning Cronus, perhaps with the assistance of his brothers Hades and Poseidon, with whom he then divided dominion over the world" (The Editors). As the ruler of heaven, he was believed to oversee humans, "rewarding good conduct and punishing evil" (The Editors). He had many love affairs, thus having many offspring.]]> 2019-12-04 17:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ethuynh102/fmmmjbd61q5c/wish/419782294 ethuynh102 https://padlet.com/ethuynh102/fmmmjbd61q5c/wish/419782706 In the novel The Odyssey, Zeus, although not having many appearances, plays a semi-major role. He aids the protagonist a few times, making an effort "to keep [Odysseus] alive on his treacherous trip to his home land" (T. Chris). Furthermore, Zeus occasionally appears to weigh the fates in his scales, indicating that he may have a role related to the fates of immortal beings and mortals. Odysseus does not have a direct relation with Zeus but often prays to him when in difficult circumstances. ]]> 2019-12-04 17:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ethuynh102/fmmmjbd61q5c/wish/419782706 ethuynh102 https://padlet.com/ethuynh102/fmmmjbd61q5c/wish/419782930 The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. “Zeus.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., November 03, 2019, https://www.britannica.com/topic/Zeus Accessed December 04, 2019

Furthermore, he is also known as King of the Gods and is worshiped by many, including Odysseus. Zeus may be seen as a representation or symbol of fate for he occasionally appears to weigh the fates of mortals and immortals.]]> 2019-12-05 17:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ethuynh102/fmmmjbd61q5c/wish/420342918
