====Conclusion====

Zeus became King of the Gods and the absolute ruler of the world by brute force and strategy. He was very cunning and used his ability to see what the future held to become the foremost Olympian. The Succession Myths demonstrate that Zeus was the monarch of the heavens and the earth because he was the most powerful. The Greeks like other peoples, such as the Babylonians conceived of their gods as powerful entities and not spiritual beings. They respected them because of their power and goodness. Zeus in the series of 'Succession Myths' was ruthless when it came to the seize of power. However, he arguably did not have any choice. He rose to power, by waging a war against the older gods, the Titans and defending it against them and the monster Typhoon. These myths are similar to other myths around the world, which focus on the rise to supremacy of a ruler-god.
