Whenever Rhea gave birth to a son, he swallowed it. After Zeus was born; Rhea swaddled a stone to trick kronos into swallowing it, while the baby was secretly sent to Mount Decatur in Crete. There, he was protected by Culetus and fed with goat's milk by two goddesses. In addition, Rhea gave birth to Zeus in a cave in Dechert, and later entrusted the baby to Coulette and Cuban. They fed Zeus the goat's milk from Amartya. The oldest symbol of Zeus (double axe) in Crete still exists in Crete.

In the myth system of Zeus on Mount Olympus, Zeus lived in Crete, an ancient exile. In Delphi, there is a wind of worshipping ancient sacred objects. The so-called "sacred objects" are the food that kronos swallowed or used as the navel stone of baby Zeus.
When Zeus grew up, he listened to Metis and induced his father kronos to take an emetic, so that his brothers and sisters could escape from his father's abdomen safely. In order to reward Zeus, they gave each other lightning. Later, in order to compete for control, Zeus fought with the Titan gods such as Cleopatra. This struggle lasted 10 years. The elves helped Zeus; Klopp forged lightning for him. The Titan gods were defeated and driven into talos. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades shared the command. Zeus rules the sky, Poseidon rules the ocean, and Hades rules the underworld. Zeus, as the god of the sky, is in charge of weather and lightning; Can disperse the dark clouds, as long as he shakes the shield, it will thunder and lightning, and the rainstorm will be like a note. The image of Zeus is the fusion of meteorological gods in many regions. In ancient times, Zeus combined the functions of life and death. He presided over the trial of the dead, so he was also called "Zeus Ketonios" (meaning "Zeus underground"). In Corinth, there is a worship of Zeus Cordoni Oss. Later Zeus was only the incarnation of light. During the patriarchal clan system, Zeus was imprisoned on Mount Olympus and was called "Zeus of Mount Olympus".

They once occupied Mount Olympus, but they were also intimidated by their strength and driven into the depths of the ocean. Zeus is also in danger of being taken away by his son. Zeus and his close relatives began a power struggle. Hera, Poseidon and Athena pallas (also known as Apollo) competed with Zeus, who got help from thetis. Thetis, the daughter of nereus, the ancient sea god, and the sister of Oronomy, the mistress of the overthrown Mount Olympus, used one hundred arms to summon elves to frighten Zeus' opponents. Zeus, as the newborn god of Olympus, turned to the monsters born by the land god for help and fought against such monsters. Zeus of Olympus is regarded as the father of the gods and the world, but his control over the protoss of Olympus is not very stable. His prospects are often unpredictable. Zeus listened to the words of Gaia and Uranus, the gods of the earth, and swallowed Metis in order not to give birth to a son stronger than himself. Gaia's daughter themis told Zeus a mystery (Prometheus knew it): thetis was about to give birth to a stronger son than Zeus. Therefore, Zeus flatly refused to combine with thetis and married her to Peleus, which led to the outbreak of the Trojan War to meet the requirements of Gaia, Mother Earth. Zeus' second wife was themis, the god of justice. They gave birth to their daughter Holly, who made the life of the gods and the world orderly, and they gave birth to their daughter.

Zeus' third wife, Hera, occupies a vital position and is regarded as the patron saint of marriage. Zeus gave birth to the gods, endowed the world with laws, order, scholarship, art and moral norms, and gradually changed the world. In many myths, the scenes of Zeus in ancient times and before Olympus are clearly visible. He married Carly Opel, the muse, and gave birth to Cleopatra, the servant of Kibole, the supreme mother (according to legend, Zeus was the one who protected the baby in Crete). Zeus still retains his ancient artifact-thunder and lightning. He used force to suppress resistance or punish it.

In order to create the so-called "perfect man", Zeus exterminated mankind several times. He sent down the flood that destroyed the world, except ordinary people.

Zeus once cursed some heroes and descendants (descendants of Taras, Sisyphus, Atreus and Cadmus). In this way, ancient Zeus was endowed with more and more obvious moral attributes. According to legend, the establishment of state system, order and morality has nothing to do with Prometheus, but is closely related to Zeus' behavior. Zeus gave the world a sense of shame and rules of social interaction.
