Zeus vs the Jade Emperor: Who's the WORST Boss in Heaven?
One king of heaven trained through 3,200 trials, each lasting 129,600 years. The other turned into a swan to cheat on his wife. Which one would you actually want as your boss?
Jack grew up on Greek myths. Minh grew up on the Jade Emperor and the Monkey King. In this first episode of Myth Swap, they put Zeus and the Jade Emperor head to head across four rounds: how they got the job, how they run heaven, their family drama, and their worst day at work.
Comment WEST for Zeus or EAST for the Jade Emperor. We count every vote in our monthly special.

SOURCES & VERSIONS
Greek myths follow Hesiod's Theogony and the Library of Apollodorus (Typhon). The Jade Emperor's origin follows popular Taoist tradition; the Monkey King story follows the novel Journey to the West (Wu Cheng'en). The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the zodiac race and the Kitchen Gods are folk traditions with many regional versions; we tell the most common ones.
