Source text - English
Zeus, in ancient Greek religion, chief deity of the pantheon, a sky and weather god who was identical with the Roman god Jupiter. His name clearly comes from that of the sky god Dyaus of the ancient Hindu Rigveda. Zeus was regarded as the sender of thunder and lightning, rain, and winds, and his traditional weapon was the thunderbolt. He was called the father (i.e., the ruler and protector) of both gods and men.
According to a Cretan myth that was later adopted by the Greeks, Cronus, king of the Titans, upon learning that one of his children was fated to dethrone him, swallowed his children as soon as they were born. But Rhea, his wife, saved the infant Zeus by substituting a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes for Cronus to swallow and hiding Zeus in a cave on Crete. There he was nursed by the nymph (or female goat) Amalthaea and guarded by the Curetes (young warriors), who clashed their weapons to disguise the baby’s cries. After Zeus grew to manhood he led a revolt against the Titans and succeeded in dethroning Cronus, perhaps with the assistance of his brothers Hades and Poseidon, with whom he then divided dominion over the world.
Translation - Polish
Zeus, w starożytnej religii greckiej, główne bóstwo panteonu, bóg nieba i pogody, który był odpowiednikiem rzymskiego bogia Jowisza. Jego imię wyraźnie wywodzi się od imienia boga nieba Dyausa ze starożytnej hinduskiej Rigvedy. Zeus był uważany za nadawcę grzmotów i błyskawic, deszczu i wiatrów, a jego tradycyjną bronią był piorun. Nazywano go ojcem (tj. Władcą i obrońcą) zarówno bogów, jak i ludzi.
Zgodnie z mitem kreteńskim, który został później przyjęty przez Greków, Kronos, król Tytanów, dowiedziawszy się, że jedno z jego dzieci jest przeznaczone do zdetronizowania go, połykał je gdy tylko się urodziły. Ale Rhea, jego żona, uratowała małego Zeusa, zastępując go kamieniem owiniętym pieluszkami, i ukryła Zeusa w jaskini na Krecie. Tam był pielęgnowany przez nimfę (lub samicę kozy) Amalthaea i pilnowany przez Curetes (młodych wojowników), którzy hałasowali, aby ukryć płacz dziecka. Po tym, jak Zeus osiągnął wiek męski, poprowadził bunt przeciwko Tytanom i udało mu się zdetronizować Kronosa, być może z pomocą swoich braci Hadesa i Posejdona, z którymi następnie podzielił panowanie nad światem.
