Here is an example of a biopoem that was written about Zeus:
Zeus
Proud, unfaithful husband, controller of thunder and lightning, egotistic,
Son of Cronos, former King of the Gods, Lover of Hera, his wife, many mortal women, and many goddesses,
Who feels proud of his children, powerful, and might,
Who needs Power, punishment, and many lovers to satisfy himself,
Who gives lightning, thunder, and many children,
Who fears one of his children taking over his throne, imprisonment, and a takeover of Mt. Olympus by Hades,
Who would like to see his son, Hercules, become a hero, his wife become less jealous, and the thunderstorm rage sweep across the nation,
Resident of Mt. Olympus, Thessaly, Greece,
Jupiter
