Description
When Zeus was a wee baby, his mother had to hide him away to protect him from the wrath of his father. His father, you understand, had a terrible habit of eating his children. Zeus's source of nutrients during this time was an elderly goat, who's milk he would drink. However, when he was playing with his nanny one day, he mistakenly broke off one of her horns! This horn was then struck by the infant's divinity and began providing endless nutrients to the needy child.
