Image
Zeus looked like a really buff, really angry hippie.
Rick Riordan
Image
Zeus most glorious and most great, Thundercloud, throned in the heavens! Let not the sun go down and the darkness come, until I cast down headlong the citadel of Priam in flames, and burn his gates with blazing fire, and tear to rags the shirt upon Hectors breast! May many of his men fall about him prone in the dust and bite the earth!
Homer
Image
Zeus it seems has given us from youth to old age a nice ball of wool to wind-nothing but wars upon wars until we shall perish every one.
Homer
Image
Zeus does not bring all men's plans to fulfillment.
Homer
Image
Zeus detests above all the boasts of a proud tongue.
Sophocles
Image
Zeus, first cause, prime mover for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?
Aeschylus
Image
ZEUS /n./ The chief of Grecian gods, adored by the Romans as Jupiter and by the modern Americans as God, Gold, Mob and Dog.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Zeus, the father of the Olympic Gods, turned mid-day into night, hiding the light of the dazzling Sun and sore fear came upon men.
Archilochus
Image
Zeus hates busybodies and those who do too much.
Euripides
Image
If you don't think you're close-minded for not believing in Zeus, then please don't accuse atheists of being close-minded for not believing in your god.
Greta Christina
Image
She stared at me. Fly, ole, in an airplane, which you were warned never to do lest Zeus strike you out of the sky, AND carrying a weapon that has more destructive power than a nuclear bomb? Yeah, I said. Pretty much exactly like that.
Rick Riordan
Image
It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.
Hesiod
Image
As for my brothers,' Zeus said, 'we are thankful -' he cleared his throat, like the words were hard to get out - 'erm, thankful for the aid of Hades.' The Lord of the Dead nodded. He had a smug look on his face, but I figure he'd earned the right. He patted his son Nico on the shoulders, and Nico looked happier than I'd ever seen him.
Rick Riordan
Image
And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.
Hesiod
Image
Next time someone tells me they believe in God, I'll say 'Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? Ra?...' If they say 'Just God. I only believe in the one God,' I'll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me. I don't believe in 2,870 gods, and they don't believe in 2,869.
Ricky Gervais
Image
I swear it upon Zeus an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler.
Socrates
Image
All strangers and beggars are from Zeus, and a gift, though small, is precious.
Homer
Image
Proud is the spirit of Zeus-fostered kings - their honor comes from Zeus, and Zeus, god of council, loves them.
Homer
Image
You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.
Homer
Image
Chorus: Zeus, who guided men to think who laid it down that wisdom comes alone through suffering. Still there drips in sleep against the heart grief of memory against our pleasure we are temperate.
Aeschylus
Image
For the lips of Zeus do not know how to lie, but bring to fulfilment every word.
Aeschylus
Image
No one would wish a bad marriage on anyone. But where do we think good marriages come from? They don't spring full blown from the head of Zeus any more than does a good education...Why should a marriage require fewer tears and less toil and shabbier commitment than your job or your clothes or your car?
Jeffrey R. Holland
Image
The will was of Zeus, the hand of Hephaestus.
Aeschylus
Image
It is my belief one should not belittle the artist while, however glorious his fame may seem, his time on Mount Olympus as an honourable guest of Zeus is short. It's a pity, but all too eager will the common folk drag him from this etherial heights to the low and trodden earth.
Ludwig van Beethoven
