Who is the king of the gods in Greek mythology? Zeus is the answer.

Zeus is the supreme deity and king of the gods in Greek mythology. He rules from Mount Olympus and is chiefly associated with the sky, thunder, lightning, justice, oaths, hospitality, and political authority. His best-known symbols are the thunderbolt and the eagle.

Zeus was the youngest child of Cronus and Rhea. Cronus swallowed his children because he feared a prophecy of overthrow, but Rhea concealed Zeus in Crete. After reaching adulthood, Zeus made Cronus disgorge his siblings and led the Olympians in the Titanomachy, a ten-year war against the Titans.

After victory, Zeus shared cosmic realms with his brothers. According to the Iliad, he received the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the underworld, while earth and Olympus remained common ground. Zeus is often confused with Cronus, his father and former ruler, or with Hades, who governed the dead. His Roman counterpart was Jupiter, and his name ultimately relates to an ancient Indo-European sky-father deity.
