More From Mt. Olympus

I am becoming comfortably ensconced at the far end of a pavilion between two peaks of the mountain, were I can watch the comings and goings of the Familia Olympia from a 3 step recess built into a rocky outcrop at the far end of a split level terrace overlooking a stream, without drawing attention to myself.

It is a quiet morning, and I haven't seen anyone except a grim-looking Hera standing on a balcony shading her eyes as she scans the peaceful surroundings for the 3rd time in 5 minutes. I get the feeling something is amiss and I have a good idea of what, or rather, who, that might be.

ZEUS - CAPTAIN OF THE GODS.

Zeus, the greatest and most powerful of the Olympians, was a strong, tough-looking man with a silver beard, who carried a sceptre and was accompanied by an eagle, but his chief characteristic was his ability to cast thunderbolts, which he did on a regular basis out of sheer frustration with his wife and the constant squabbles and bickering he was forced to decide and pass judgment on.
