Zeus Xenios (Ξένιος), Philoxenon, or Hospites: Zeus as the patron of hospitality ( xenia) and guests, avenger of wrongs done to strangers According to a version from Plutarch, as recorded by Eusebius in his Praeparatio evangelica, Hera is raised by a nymph named Macris [117] on the island of Euboea when Zeus kidnaps her, taking her to Mount Cithaeron, where they find a shady hollow, which serves as a "natural bridal chamber". When Macris comes to look for Hera, Cithaeron, the tutelary deity of the mountain, stops her, saying that Zeus is sleeping there with Leto. [118] Photius, in his Bibliotheca, tells us that in Ptolemy Hephaestion's New History, Hera refuses to lay with Zeus, and hides in a cave to avoid him, before an earthborn man named Achilles convinces her to marry Zeus, leading to the pair first sleeping with each other.

Plato, in his Cratylus, gives a folk etymology of Zeus meaning "cause of life always to all things", because of puns between alternate titles of Zeus ( Zen and Dia) with the Greek words for life and "because of". [23] This etymology, along with Plato's entire method of deriving etymologies, is not supported by modern scholarship.

Shortlisted for the Greenaway medal, in 2018, for illustration in a picture book, this touching, quiet tale about a boy who is a long way from home is full of the atmosphere of a dusty, rainy ex-coal-mining town, lit with accents of yellow hope. Davies considers the strangeness of new places, especially their smells, and the simple acts that can make us feel part of a new community.Zeus ( / zj uː s/; Ancient Greek: Ζεύς) [a] is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the gods on Mount Olympus. His name is cognate with the first syllable of his Roman equivalent Jupiter. [2] He spoke of wanting to do "a couple maneuvers to see what it [the aircraft] can do", and requested the coordinates of an orca that had been brought to national attention, saying, "I want to go see that guy." He stated that he did not want to hurt anyone, [17] [19] and in the final minutes of the communication apologized to his friends and family. [15] Near the end of the flight, the aircraft was seen performing a barrel roll over Puget Sound, recovering approximately ten feet (3m) above the water. [20] A veteran pilot said the maneuver "seemed pretty well executed, without either stalling or pulling the wings off." [21] When an air traffic controller requested he land the plane after this maneuver, he said "I don't know. I don't want to. I was kind of hoping that was gonna be it, you know?" [16] [19] He added that he "wasn't really planning on landing it." [22]
