Zeus

 

AppleMark

Zeus, the god, is very clever. In the battle with Cronos he sets up allies, his brothers and sisters who had been eaten by Cronos to support him in the battle. With the help of Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon, he wins the battle against Cronos. Another example of how Zeus is intellectual also occurs during the battle against Cronos. Preparing a trap to catch the Titans off guard, he whistles to his cousins, the One-eyed Cyclopes, and the Hundred-Handed Ones when the Titans are near, and they throw boulders down the mountain to crush the Titans. As a result, CronosÕs army is defeated and Zeus becomes ruler of the gods. Overall, Zeus is a very intelligent god.
