Greek myth and religion emphasized Zeus’ supreme power, but also his role as a source of justice. The two had several divine children together, though Zeus also fathered numerous children through other marriages and affairs. Zeus’ wife and queen was Hera, goddess of women and marriage. The numerous other gods of the Greek pantheon were all subordinate to Zeus, and none could rival him in power. Hailed as the father of both mortals and immortals, Zeus was the god of the sky and weather, but was also connected with law and order, the city, and the household. Zeus was the supreme god of the Greeks, a mighty deity who meted out justice from atop Mount Olympus.
