Mythology
Zeus

|
Zeus, the god of the heavens, is egocentric. For example, he revolted and banished his father, Cronos, and the Titans. Once he had control, Zeus and his two brothers divided the world up between them: Zeus becoming the god of the heavens, Hades the underworld, and Poseidon the sea. Zeus was egocentric because he did not care about what he had to do in order to become a leader, even rebelling against his own family member. In addition, when Zeus was married to his sister to Hera, he had an affair with the Phoenician princess Eropa, so he disguised himself as a shower of gold. Zeus was egocentric at this time because he did not care what his wife would think about him and he did what he had to do to get what he wanted, Eropa. In conclusion, Zeus used his extreme powers for his own personal benefit. |
