The Gods, and Zeus Especially, as Spectators in the Iliad

As an audience, we are usually passive bystanders. The only effect we can have on the result is to make the participants express our support through cheers or to express our anger and frustration in action through humming and snoring. We trust officials and referees to ensure that strict guidelines and rules are protected through operations. As an audience, we are also commentators who express our views on the behavior of participants and officials.

"Iliad" is a poem by Homer on Trojan War and Trojan War. As an empty god, thunder, lightning, law, order, justice, Zeus dominates ancient Greece and all humans and gods there. Iliad covers the Trojan War where Zeus plays an important role. The most outstanding conflict in the history of Zeus is his power struggle. Zeus 'parents, Cronos and Rare, dominated the ancient world after dominating Kronos' father, Uranus. When he noticed that Cronos wanted power for the rest of the time, he began to eat his children, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. When Rhea noticed what was going on, she immediately helped their youngest child Zeus. After running away, Reus believed that he deceived Cronos and consumed Zeus, and Zeus survived. She wrapped the stone with a blanket and thought that he swallowed his last child, Kronos swallowed it. Therefore, Zeus was brought to live in Crete

Zeus is the god of ancient Greek mythology. He is the son of Rhea and Cronus, the youngest of six children. Zeus' father, Cronos knew that he eventually was knocked down by his son, so when Zeus was born he intended to swallow him. After the birth of Zeus, Rhea, the mother of Zeus, cheated Clonus in Zeus and wrapped it in a blanket. Cronus swallowed a rock. As Zeus grew, he forced Kronos to throw a stone and his brothers and sisters. Zeus also freed the brothers of Kronas from the dungeon, and in return he was given a grudge as his weapon. Zeus and his brothers beat Clonus, became the best god of Olympus and king of God.

Another god who intervened in the Trojan horse war in Greece was Zeus. Zeus is not only the most powerful god in Iriad, it also plays the most influential role of any other god. As Willcox says, "Zeus is the best god and no one in the lower world can happen" (14). This is the core of the Iliad plot and will be planned by Zeus, which plays a decisive role in the main events of the drama. The reason why Zeus is such an influential god is probably because he intervened in the problems of Greeks and Trojans. He is a neutral god, "a distributor of good and evil" in the play (Mueller 147). Zeus's neutrality was expressed because Wilcox stated that "Zeus of God is fair, but Troy knows that it has been destroyed" (283). Zeus keeps neutrality throughout the game and will help them as long as they think that Greeks and Trojan horses are necessary.
