In Hesiod's Theogony, Zeus secures his role as supreme ruler of the universe by defeating Typhoeus—a colossal, turbulent monster born from Gaia and Tartaros to directly challenge him. Typhoeus was the ultimate test for Zeus' dominion, and a manifestation of chaotic, primordial power that if uncontested, “would have [him] become lord over gods and men” (837).
