Latin 1--Ruler myth guidance

Ok, so I totally forgot my laptop today and it had the handout that I needed to print...  Oops.  So here's a little info on what I will be looking for with the Ruler Myth Rough Draft:

~A ruler (king, queen, etc) deity is the god or goddess which is in charge.  He or she usually embodies something which is vital to the society over which he or she rules.  E.g. Jupiter is the god of the sky but also the law, victory and other good Roman values.

~After researching other ruler deities, your myth needs to be a story about the ruler, how they use (...  or abuse...) their power and to what/whose benefit. Your myth might be about how your ruler deity came into power or, alternatively, how they keep power. 

~Examples of ruler deities:
Zeus
Jupiter
Danu
The Dagda
Horus
Ra
Quetzalcoatl
Brahma/Shiva/Vishnu
Izanagi
Marduk
Tengri
Odin
Ahura Mazda
Ishtar

And many more...
