Thanks to her sacrifice and Zeus's newfound power from devouring Metis, the 6 traitors were able to defeat Kronos.ĭespite Zeus’s attempts to comfort Hera, he was never marked by Kronos and could never understand the pain that Kronos left the other traitors. On the field of battle, he grabbed Hera and split her in two, giving her the X-shape scar she has on her stomach in the present day. Towards the end of the war, Kronos discovered Hera’s deception. Around this time, Zeus also devoured Metis to absorb her powers as a fertility goddess.

#ZEUS PERSEPHONE HADES DEMETER FREE#
During the rebellion Zeus and Hera concocted a plan where Hera would seduce Kronos and slowly poison him over time with the same plant Zeus had used to free his brothers. Together the 6 rebelled against the tyranny of the Titans in a war known as the Titanomachy. Alongside them were the three goddesses Hera, Demeter, and Hestia, known in the present day as the 6 Traitors Dynasty. Together with his brothers, Hades and Poseidon, Zeus started a rebellion against the tyranny of the Titans. At some point, Zeus became acquainted with Metis, as well as her creation Hera, who Zeus became infatuated with. When Zeus was older, he fed his father a poisonous plant that helped him free his brothers. His mother Rhea, unable to bare losing another child to Kronos, swapped Zeus with a boulder and had Zeus raised in secret to later rescue his brothers. His father Kronos consumed his first two sons in order to thwart a prophecy that his children would be his undoing. Before him were his older brother Poseidon and his oldest brother Hades (at the time known as Aidoneus). Zeus was born the third son and youngest child of the Titans Kronos and Rhea. Zeus has the ability to change his form into that of a purple swan with orange legs and beak. While in the Mortal Realm, Zeus wears Greek robes in shades of white and purple. While on Olympus, Zeus wears stark white clothing, favoring business suits and dress shirts. When using his powers, his hair rises, as if by wind, and lightning will appear around it.
