=About Me:  I am Zeus, the god of sky and thunder. My Roman name is Mars and I am the Supreme God, and the Ruler of Mount Olympus and all the Olympians. I was the sixth child born to Rhea and Cronus, who was the King of the Titans at that time. My father overthrew his father before him, and he feared that his children, my brothers and sisters, would do the same to him. In order to neutralize this threat, Cronus ate all of his children, the exception being me. My mother, Rhea, was fed up with my father consuming her children (he had already eaten Hesttia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon), so when I was born, she swapped me out for a rock. When "I" was presented to Cronus, he ate the rock, completely unaware of his foolish error. My mother brought me to a cave on the island of Crete to be watched over by Gaea, the goddess of Earth. There, I was guarded by a group of soldiers and raised by a nymph named Adamanthea, being nursed on the milk of Amaltheia, a divine goat. When I was of age, I tricked my way into becoming the cup-bearer to Cronus. With the help of Rhea and the Titaness Metis, I slipped Cronus a drink that caused him to disgorge the five children. With the help of my newly freed siblings, and Prometheus who convinced me to release the 3 cyclopes Thunderer, Lightener, and Shiner, who gave to me the gift of the lightning bolt, to Poseidon the trident, and to Hades a magical cape, I overthrew Cronus, sending him to Tarturus to be imprisoned. There he was imprisoned in a chamber surrounded by a brazen wall and gate, guarded by the 3 cyclopes and the 300 hand monsters. Outside the gates stood Atlas, who was immovable since he bared the Heavens on his shoulders, finally guarded by a three-headed dog Cerberus. My two brothers, Poseidon and Hades, decided that we three would draw lots to determine who would rule over what. Poseidon became the Ruler of the Sea, Hades became the Ruler of the Underworld, and I became the Supreme Ruler of the Heavens. =
