The Bag of Lightning Bolts and Lightning Bolts was the signature weapon and symbol of Zeus.


Myth

Creation

During the Titanomachy, after the Cyclops were released, the Cyclops were so grateful to the gods, they made gifts for them. Zeus recieved a bucket which would never run out of Lightning Bolts. Later, it was imbued with the power of the sky.

Later Use

While Typhon and Zeus are doing battle, Zeus throws a lightning bolt at Typhon which threw him to a mountain. Zeus, quickly regaining strength, tossed one hundred Lightning Bolts at Typhon, killing him. He then threw his remians into Tartatus.

Power and Abilities

The bucket is enchanted so it will never run out of Lightning Bolts. The Bolts themselves were charged with electricity, and would have power over the skies and storms.

Trivia

  • Sometimes, the bolts are thought to have been stored in a sack instead of a bucket.
