Zeus was not having a good day and he made sure everyone knew it.
To amuse himself, Zeus set his eyes on Earth where he found a poor shephard named Victor having drinks with his friends.
They seemed to be having a wonderful time, but when in his inebriated state Victor revealed that he wanted to be a King, Zeus wanted to be a King-maker!
Zeus immediately took Victor and his friends near an ancient pedestal where a sword had been inserted that people claimed could only be removed by a scion of the royal dynasty.
Then to everyone's wonder, with school-boyish spunk, Victor easily pulled out the sword in full view of his friends and the royal soldiers and rested on his laurels when declared King, while Zeus felt better!
