Mythology · True or False?

In Greek mythology, Zeus can generate lightning from his body

The answer is False.

Explanation

Zeus did not possess innate electrokinesis: his thunderbolts were forged for him by the Cyclopes, whom he freed from Tartarus. These bolts functioned as physical weapons and instruments of his divine power. The same Cyclopes also forged Poseidon's trident and Hades' helmet of darkness.
