 Zeus

The Greek god, Zeus, god of the skies

Used his thunder and lightning bolts

To defeat foes and to arise

To power, putting down revolts

By other gods and humans who

Were constantly trying to take

Away his power, but he threw

His bolts for a long while to make

His Mt. Olympus throne secure.

But time upon Zeus took its toll,

And his power did ebb for sure.

He no longer played the star role.

What happened to Zeus is unknown.

Of course lightning bolts are still thrown.
