NAXOS > MYTHOLOGY

MYTHOLOGY Mythology of Naxos Cyclades Greek Islands Greece

On this island Zeus, Apollo, Dionysus and Ariadne, Demeter and Artemis were worshipped above all. Zeus, father of all the gods, was born in Crete but was brought up in Naxos and in his honour the inhabitants named the island’s tallest mountain after him (Zeus or Zas).

On the peak of Mt Zas an eagle gave Zeus thunder and, with this power, he became ruler of Olympus, home of the gods. Zeus fell in love with Semele, daughter of the king of Thebes. The jealous goddess, Hera, beguiled the young Semele into asking Zeus to appear in front of her in all his divine splendour. Zeus granted her wish, but the mortal woman could not bear the awesome sight. She perished, but Zeus saved their unborn child. He stitched the embryo into his thigh, whence Dionysus was born.
