BANKNOTE GREECE 1000 DRACHMAI 1970 ~ ZEUS THE FATHER OF GODS AND MEN

Zeus is known in Greek Religion as “the father of Gods” and “the leader of Gods”. He is the youngest son of Titan King Cronus and his wife, Rhea. According to  history, as soon  Zeus was born Cronus demanded to swallow him just like he did for Zeus’s brothers and sisters, namely  Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia and Hades. However, Rhea made a plan with Gaea (the goddess of Earth), fed Cronus rocks wrapped in some clothes making him think he actually swallowed Zeus and managed to hide Zeus in a cave on Mount Ida.
