ZEUS
"God of the Sky"
(Zoos)
Age: Whatever Poseidon says, I’m ten years older than that, and don’t forget it!
Location: Mount Olympus, 600th Floor, Empire State Building, New York
Quote: You don’t argue with the Master Bolt
About Me: Supreme Ruler of the Olympians.
Who I’d Like to Meet: Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba. Just because I think we could have deep intellectual conversations, you understand.
Interests: Thunderstorms, natural disasters, air travel, women (purely as friends, of course).
Music: Wagner, John Williams, Vivaldi.
Film: Troy, 300 – they make me nostalgic for the good old days.
TV: Rome – now those Romans knew how to live!
Books: Into Thin Air.
Heroes: I admired my grandfather Ouranos. He did a good job keeping his children in line, until my father Kronos sliced him to pieces anyway.
Status: Married to Hera, and I’m totally faithful to her. Honestly. Don’t listen to all those rumors.
Hometown: Mount Aegaeon in Crete. That’s where I was born and raised. Then I moved to Mount Othrys where I disguised myself as Kronos’s cupbearer.
Favorite Drink: Nectar, the drink of the gods. Nothing else comes close.
Body Type: I’m in good shape for being over four thousand years old. I stand tall and lean, with a black beard and black hair.
Occupation: Lord of Olympus.
Education: When you know everything, who needs education?

Distinguishing Features: Pinstriped suit, neatly trimmed grey beard, stormy eyes and a very large, dangerous lightning bolt.
Now: On stormy days, he can be found brooding in his throne room in Mount Olympus, over the Empire State Building in New York. Sometimes he travels the world in disguise, so be nice to everyone! You never know when the next person you meet might be packing the master bolt. Then: In the old days, Zeus ruled over his unruly family of Olympians while they bickered and fought and got jealous of each other. Not much different than today, really. Zeus always had an eye for beautiful women, which often got him in trouble with his wife, Hera. A less-than-stellar father figure, Zeus once tossed Hera’s son Hephaestus off the top of Mount Olympus because the baby was too ugly. |
