The symbols of Zeus consist of the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak.

In popular culture today, Zeus can be found in the Scion commercial, and God of War the video game.

Zeus was the father of gods and men, a son of Cronos and Rhea, a brother of Poseidon, Hades (Pluto), Hestia, Demeter, Hera, and was married to his sister Hera at the same moment.

Zeus was angry at Prometheus for giving mankind fire. Zeus got so angry he sent a 9 day flood as punishment. Almost everyone involve had drowned. After, the sun appeared and dried up the flood waters. In hope of repopulating the world Deucalion and Pyrrha threw stones, the stones Deucalion threw over his head became men, Pyrrha\'s stones became women.
