Apparently, the media intends to pull out the history of mankind, apparently, someone came up with the idea that Zeus is a fictional character created for comics, certainly, these dogs want to erase our memories.
This is what I know about Zeus:
Zeus is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter. His mythologies and powers are similar, though not identical, to those of Indo-European deities such as Jupiter, Perkūnas, Perun, Indra, Dyaus, and Thor.
Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, the youngest of his siblings to be born, though sometimes reckoned the eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus's stomach. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus. At the oracle of Dodona, his consort was said to be Dione, by whom the Iliad states that he fathered Aphrodite. Zeus was also infamous for his erotic escapades. These resulted in many divine and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen of Troy, Minos, and the Muses.
He was respected as an allfather who was chief of the gods and assigned roles to the others: "Even the gods who are not his natural children address him as Father, and all the gods rise in his presence." He was equated with many foreign weather gods, allowing Pausanias to observe "That Zeus is king in heaven is a saying common to all men". Zeus' symbols are the thunderbolt, eagle, bull, and oak. In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical "cloud-gatherer" (Greek: Νεφεληγερέτα, Nephelēgereta) also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East, such as the scepter. Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward with a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand or seated in majesty.
The name of the god in nominative is Ζεύς (Zeús). It is declined as follows: vocative: Ζεῦ (Zeû); accusative: Δία (Day); genitive: Διός (God); dative: Διί (Dií). Diogenes Laërtius quotes Pherecydes of Syros when spelling the name Ζάς.
Zeus is the Greek continuation of * Di̯ēus, the name of the Proto-Indo-European god of the daytime sky, also called * Dyeus ph 2 tēr ("Father of the sky"). The god is known under this name in the Rig Veda (Vedic Sanskrit Dyaus / Dyaus Pita), Latin (compare Jupiter, from Iuppiter, which derives from the Proto-Indo-European vocative * dyeu-ph 2 ter), derived from the root * dyeu- ("to shine", and in its many derivatives, "heaven, heaven, god"). Zeus is the only deity in the Olympian pantheon whose name has such a transparent Indo-European etymology.
The first attested forms of the name are the Mycenaean Greek , di-we and , di-wo, written in the Linear B syllabic script.
Plato, in his Cratylus, gives a popular etymology of Zeus meaning "cause of life always for all things", due to puns between alternative titles of Zeus (Zen and Dia) with the Greek words for life and " because". This etymology, along with all of Plato's method of deriving etymologies, is not supported by modern scholarship, because they are the first who want to destroy mythology and history.
Diodorus Siculus wrote that Zeus was also called Zen because humans believed that he was the cause of life (Zen). While Lactantius wrote that his name was Zeus and Zen, not because he is the giver of life, but because he was the first of the children of Cronos to live.
