À ceux qui pensent que vivre pour un dieu est aisé, je dis : «Détrompez-vous.» Aux mortels qui croient que notre vie n’est que volupté et délices, je dis: «Apprenez de votre erreur.» Ayant échappé à l’infanticide, j’ai grandi seul, caché sur une île. Je suis devenu homme et guidé par ma grand-mère Gaïa, j’ai concocté un plan afin de renverser mon père, Cronos, maître de l’Olympe. Seul, j’ai appris la vie, l’amour, la mort et la colère. J’ai levé une armée, j’ai réveillé les géants, j’ai libéré mes frères et mes sœurs. J’ai accompli mon destin! Moi, Zeus, roi des dieux, dieu des rois, je vais vous conter mon histoire...

Maurice Druon
Author · 16 books

Maurice Druon was born in Paris. He is the nephew of the writer Joseph Kessel, with whom he wrote the Chant des Partisans, which, with music composed by Anna Marly, was used as an anthem by the French Resistance during the Second World War. In 1948 he received the Prix Goncourt for his novel Les grandes familles. On December 8, 1966, he was elected to the 30th seat of the Académie française, succeeding Georges Duhamel. While his scholarly writing earned him a seat at the Académie, he is best known for a series of seven historical novels published in the 1950s under the title Les Rois Maudits (The Accursed Kings). He was Minister of Cultural Affairs in 1973 and 1974 in Pierre Messmer's cabinet, and a deputy of Paris from 1978 to 1981. Source: Wikipedia
