Zeus was the last child of the titans Cronus and Rhea.
Imposing with long, oftentimes curly hair
The eagle, the scale and the thunderbolt, which was as a gift from the Cyclops because he liberated them.
Zeus' official wife was his sister Hera, the goddess of marriage and monogamy. However, Zeus was giving Hera plenty of reasons to be jealous, since Zeus was renowned of his numerous love affairs.
Zeus had his golden throne on the highest summit of Mount Olympus and was respected and awed by all Gods and mortals. He was the "Lord of Justice", punishing anyone who lied or broke an oath, but was fair and always striving to keep a balance of all things.
Furthermore, Zeus was responsible for the weather and was shaping it according to his temper. When in high spirits, Zeus was blessing the world with fine weather; in case of bad mood, however, he would throw rain, winds, lightnings and thunderbolts to cause disaster to the mortals.
But even Zeus' powers had their limits, for, however powerful as he was, he had neither the right nor the ability to intervene the decisions of the Fates.
