Father of the gods, also known as Zeus. Hesiod knew him as "wise in counsel, father of gods and men, under whose thunder the broad earth quivers". He was father of gods, keeper of lightning and "giver of completeness", yet not creator, which honour went back several generations before Zeus.

When Kronos (Saturn) ate his children, Zeus escaped - as Air he could not be consumed by time - and overthrew his father. Zeus forced Kronos to release not only his swallowed children, including Poseidon (Neptune) and Hades (Pluto), but also Ouranos' other children, including the Cyclopes. In gratitude, the Cyclopes gave him the gift of thunder and lightning. Symbolised by the eagle, and earning the sacrifice of bulls, Zeus was honoured in the festival of Olympus, now the Olympic Games.

Originally important to the early agricultural Rome as a sky god controlling weather, Jupiter, or Jove, became a special teacher and protector of the Romans and was the protector of games. His day-to-day importance declined as the emperors assumed godhead, and he became the "divine guide of the world, directing the destinies of mankind from afar" (Arthur Cotterell). Cicero referred to him as "the awful presence of a supreme mind".

Sexually vigorous, he is the father of Apollo, Mercury, Ceres and Dionysus. There are rumours of an affair with his cup-bearer, Ganymede, a beautiful young man.

Known to the Scandinavians as Thor, he is remembered in thursday, Jeudi in french. Jupiter is a philosopher, interested in learning and language. He is optimistic, sometimes rather too sunny, and can be self-indulgent and conceited.
