Lightning in Mythology
Zeus, the Greek God of Lightning
Zeus, the supreme ruler of the Greek gods, is most famously known for his control over lightning and thunder. As the god of the sky, Zeus wields his powerful lighning bolt, a symbol of his divine authority and strength. This mighty weapon, forged by the Cyclopes, allows him to unleash fierce storms and lightning, demonstrating his dominance over both gods and mortals. Often depicted hurling lightning bolts from the heavens, Zeus uses this formidable force to maintain order, punish wrongdoers, and protect the sanctity of Olympus.

Wielding his mighty hammer Mjölnir, Thor commands the skies, summoning thunder and lightning to protect Asgard and Midgard (Earth) from giants and other formidable foes. Mjölnir, often depicted with lightning emanating from it, is a symbol of Thor's unparalleled power and his role as a protector of the realms.
