Show her I’m the judgment call, the one who makes her kingdom fall!
-Zeus ("Thunder Bringer")
Zeus is the king of Olympus and the god of thunder and the sky. He is the son of Kronos and Rhea and the father of several gods and demigods. He serves as a major antagonist in EPIC: The Musical.
Biography[]
In The Troy Saga, Zeus makes an appearance in The Horse And The Infant, ordering Odysseus to kill Astyanax (the son of Hector) or else he will kill everyone he loves and ruin everything he knows. He leaves the scene, finally telling Odysseus “The blood on your hands is something you won’t lose, all you can choose is whose”.
He doesn’t make an appearance again until The Thunder Saga where he punishes Odysseus and his crew for killing the Sun God’s cow — making him choose to sacrifice himself or his crew.
In The Wisdom Saga, Athena asks him to release Odysseus from Calypso’s island and he agrees but makes it so he will only do so if she manages to convince Apollo, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, and Hera that he should be released. Athena does and with his pride inflicted, Zeus gets incredibly angry and blasts her with his powerful thunderbolts. This seemingly ‘kills’ her.
