	'''Zeus''' was an [[Isu]], the "golden child atop [[Mount Olympos]]". He was the younger brother of [[Hades]] and [[Poseidon]] who despised him to such an extent that he was a figure of [[Atlantis\|Atlantean]] myth.<ref name="ACOdJoA">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – ''[[The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis]]'' / [[Isu codex]]: A Tale of Brothers</ref>

	In [[human]] mythology, Zeus was revered as the [[Greece\|Greek]] god of the sky, thunder and lightning, as well as the king of the gods. He was the youngest brother of Hades and Poseidon, [[Demeter]] and [[Hera]], as well as the latter's husband.

	~~==Biography==~~
	During the [[Isu Era]], Zeus was considered the "golden child" amongst his siblings and resided on [[Mount Olympos]]. He shared a hostile relationship with his older brothers Hades and Poseidon, who ruled the realms of the [[Underworld]] and [[Atlantis]] respectively.<ref name="ACOdJoA" />

	According to one Atlantean myth, a matter which led Zeus to personally visit Atlantis and reprimand Poseidon enraged the Trident King so much that he destroyed the very cycle in which the meeting had occurred and any further mentions of his sibling was considered taboo.<ref name="ACOdJoA" />

	~~==Legacy and influence==~~
	~~===Mythology===~~
	In time, Zeus, like many of his fellow Isu, was upheld by humanity as a god. In [[Greek mythology]], Zeus was born as the youngest son of the [[Titan]] [[Kronos]] and his wife [[Rhea]]. In fear of a prophecy foretelling his overthrow by his child, Kronos devoured all of his children, save for Zeus, who was hidden by Rhea.<ref name="ACOd">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey''</ref>

	In time, Zeus fulfilled the prophecy and cast Kronos out, creating a new world order with his siblings and other gods, settling on [[Mount Olympus]] with eleven other [[Twelve Gods\|mightiest]] deities.<ref name="ACOd" />

	Zeus is infamous for his various relationships with multiple individuals, divine and mortal alike. Via these unions, Zeus is considered to have fathered multiple heroes of Greek mythology, including [[Herakles]], [[Perseus]] and [[Kastor and Polydeukes\|Polydeukes]] as well as Greek deities, including [[Persephone]], [[Dionysos]], [[Charites]], [[Ares]], [[Eris]], [[Hebe]], [[Hephaistos]], [[Pan]], [[Apollo]] and [[Artemis]].<ref name="ACOd" />

	According to one story, Zeus united the 'Great Twins', [[Kastor and Polydeukes\|Castor and Pollux]], in immortality by turning them into the constellation {{Wiki\|Gemini (constellation)\|Gemini}}, via which they later came to signify the astrological sign {{Wiki\|Gemini (astrology)\|Gemini}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]''</ref>

	In the myths Hephaistos was credited also as the acting midwife for Zeus when it had come the time for Athena to be born. With a [[labrys]], Hephaistos cleaved Zeus' head open to free the goddess.<ref name="Labrys">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Labrys (Origins)\|Labrys]]</ref>

	~~===Symbols===~~
	~~[[File:ACOd-banner-Elis.jpg\|thumb\|100px\|The banner of Elis featuring the stylized lightning bolt]]~~
	~~Zeus' main emblem was lightning bolt, and in the 5th century BCE, a stylized version of it graced the banner of [[Elis]] as well as the [[drachma]]e.~~
	~~The god was also associated with the [[eagle]], often standing for the god himself, or perched near him.<ref name="ACOd" />~~

	~~===Influence===~~
	~~During the 5th century BCE, multiple locations related to the stories told of Zeus' life were named after him throughout the [[Peloponnese]] and the [[Aegean Sea]].<ref name="ACOd" />~~

	Several [[Statue of Zeus\|statues]] of him also graced locations like [[Mount Ainos]] on the island of [[Kephallonia]], though most notable among them was the [[Statue of Zeus, Olympia\|statue]] made by the [[Athens\|Athenian]] sculptor [[Phidias]] in [[Temple of Zeus, Olympia\|Temple of Zeus]] within the [[Sanctuary of Olympia]] in [[Elis]]. The [[Sparta]]n ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] visited a number of them over the course of her journeys.<ref name="ACOd" />

	~~==Behind the scenes==~~
	[[Jupiter]], another Isu, was Zeus' equivalent in [[Rome\|Roman]] mythology. Whether or not they are the same individual is unclear as ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' mentions Isu having multiple names as well as [[Bios of the Gods#Atlas\|separately commenting]] on Greek mythology's usage of the same name for different individuals.

	The statue of Zeus used in ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' within Zeus Ephesos in Megaris and the [[Temple of Dionysos Kolonatas]] in [[Sparta]] seems to be based on the statue known as [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus_di_Ugento Zeus of Ugento], a 6th century bronze statue found in {{Wiki\|Ugento}}, [[Italy]].
