Zeus plaque

Zeus or Dios ("divine king") is the leader of
the gods and god of the sky and thunder in
Greek mythology. Zeus played a huge role
in the Olympic pantheon. He fathered many
of the heroes and heroines (see list at
bottom of article) and was featured in many
of their stories. Zeus is the continuation of
Dyeus, the supreme god in Indo-European
religion, also continued as Vedic Dyaus
Pitar (cf. Jupiter), and as Tyr in Germanic
and Norse mythology. In addition to his
Indo-European inheritance, the classical
Zeus also derives certain iconographic
traits from the cultures of the ancient Near
East,. Zeus was equivalent to the Roman
god Jupiter (from Jovis Pater or "Father
Jove") and associated in the syncretic
classical imagination with various other
deities, such as the Egyptian Ammon and
the Etruscan Tinia. He (along with
Dionysus) absorbed the role of the chief
Phrygian god Sabazios in the syncretic
deity known in Rome as Sabazius.
