Zeus is the King of the Theoi. He is the god of the sky, weather, Xenia, law, destiny, fate, and royalty. He is the living pulse of the sky. He is the power you feel when lighting strikes. He embodies order, protection, and the sacred duty of leadership, reminding us of balance, law, and the power of oath and truth.
