Zeus the Greek God of Hospitality

Zeus was the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. He was the brother of his wife Hera, his other sisters Demeter and Hestia, and his brothers Hades, Poseidon.

ZEUS was the king of the gods, the god of sky and weather, the fate of men and nations, law, justice and moral conduct. He was widely worshipped in ancient Greece with numerous shrines and sanctuaries. Many of these were located on hill-tops or mountain peaks, founded at sites where offerings were traditionally made to the rain-bringing god. He was also worshipped privately at small household shrines. In classical sculpture, Zeus was portrayed as a regal, bearded man, with bare muscled chest. His attributes were lightning bolt, royal sceptre and eagle.
