Zeus announces Alexander to the Heavens

"Yaaaaaaaaahooooooo!" Zeus roared. Everyone in the kingdom heard him and came rushing to see why he was so excited. Athena was first to reach him. "What's with you, Father Zeus", she asked. " I could hear your whooping all over the Heavens." "My son is born!" Philip and Olympias have given birth to my son!" "How did you do it this time, Father?" Did you do it in disguise? Did Olympias recognize you?" Queen Hera asked. "No, it was so easy....At his birth, I breathed my breath of life into him. I waited until he was coming out of the womb, and I gathered him to me and forced the breath of my life into him. He will have my vitality, my wisdom, my energy, my intelligence, my voice, my life for all the days of his life. He will be my voice on the earth!" Father Zeus said proudly. " He is my child, my offspring, though his earth father Philip brought him forth with Queen Olympias, he will always be known as my son." "We will watch over him for you, Great Father," shouted Athena Pallas. "We will give him great love and honor," said Aphrodite. "I will invest courage, bravery, dash and spirit into him," shouted Apollo. "I will feed him," said Demeter. "He will never want for sustenance." "I will give him faith, mysticism, belief, and steadfastness," agreed Queen Hera. "I will give him strength of character, boldness, fearlessness," cried Poseidon Earthshaker. "I will make him happy with my grapes of wisdom at all the festivals," exclaimed Dionysus. Altogether, the entire body chorused, "Together, we will rule the world with him." Father Zeus said to Apollo, "Go to see him now. I will be along soon." Apollo sped out of Heaven to stand in front of the happy Mother and Father to see the golden haired child become consecrated to Father Zeus and all the gods and goddesses in the Heavens.
