Zeus gets his wish--and a lot more than he bargained for--when he

the first thing he sees--an actual thunderbolt he pulls from a
stone that is covered in mysterious markings. Zeus is the only one

his fellow Olympians from the evil Cronus. Armed with his trusty
thunderbolt (named Bolt, of course), Zeus is on an adventure of a
