Zeus was the King of Olympus and the father of Princess Diana, whom he fathered through Queen Hippolyta.
Biography[]
When time itself was new, Zeus created a race of sentient beings in the image of the Gods: mankind. When Ares, his son, grew jealous of mankind and corrupted it, he and the other Gods created the Amazons to help restore peace and love.
Later on, he led the Gods and the Amazons into battle against Steppenwolf.
After a brief period of peace, the Amazons were put in danger of enslavement, and Zeus led the Gods to their defense. However, Ares seized the opportunity to kill them, one by one, until only Zeus himself remained. Despite the fact that Ares had been dramatically empowered by his killings, Zeus still managed to - at the expense of his own life - strike him with a blow that forced him to retreat.
With his dying breath, Zeus also created the Island of Themyscira as a new home and haven for the Amazons, for it was magically concealed from the outside world, especially Ares.
It was later revealed that, at some point before his death in Ares' hands, Zeus had fathered a daughter with Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons, who became known as the God Killer.
