Entry #1: Greek god or goddess

I researched about Zeus, the king of the gods and the ruler of Mount Olympus who is the god of the sky and thunder. Thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and the oak tree are his symbols. Zeus was the youngest of the children of Cronus, the father, and Rhea, the mother. His brothers and sisters were: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon. As soon as they were born, Cronus swallowed them all because there was a prophet from Gaia and Uranus that one of his own son will overcome him like he had done to his own father. But thanks to Rhea's help, Zeus did not get swallowed by his father, and he became the son to overcome his father with his brothers and sisters.

The personalities and the character traits of Zeus and Hercules are similar because Hercules is the son of Zeus and Hera, Zeus' sister. Except, of course, Zeus made many erotic escapades and Herc did not. Also, their stories are totally different. Herc thought he was a person, not a god. Zeus was a god to people, which meant they had to look up on him, but as Herc lived as a human, he defeated many monsters and gave a lot of helps to people, and became the hero of people all around Greece.
