Though Zeus, in Greek myth, can be quite violent with mortals, he endeavors to save them in Blood of Zeus and shows a great deal of concern for his children and lovers, especially when compared with his relative callousness in Greek myth. The Blood of Zeus character shares many commonalities with his counterpart in Greek myth, but the anime series depicts a kinder and more gentle-hearted Zeus. Son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, he is married to Hera, but is famous for fathering a great many illegitimate children.
Zeus is one of the most famous figures in Greek mythology, the King of the gods of Olympus and wielder of lightning.
