Zeus, the Greek god of the sky and the king of the Greek gods.
Deity (plural: Deities) or simply Gods are a race of divine immortal beings who control the forces of nature and rule large portions of the Earth. Most gods are described as being part of a family or Pantheon, and they rely on their mortal devotees for worship. Although the word "god" can be gender-neutral and applied to either female, male, or genderfluid/nonbinary, the gender-adapted terms for a male would be known as "god", whereas a female would be called a "goddess".

Trivia[]
- Most gods have names who are indirect references to their domains, with few exceptions.
