Learn More About The Zeus Drawing

Zeus was the chief god or deity of the ancient Greek mythological pantheon.

He was considered the lord of the sky and weather, the sender of thunder, lightning, rain, and winds.

He was also considered the father of men and other gods.

His weapon of choice was a thunderbolt, which he would throw from his hand.

Zeus is the same as Jupiter in the Roman mythological canon.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "His name clearly comes from that of the sky god Dyaus of the ancient Hindu Rigveda."

Even since the days of legend, Zeus has often figured in popular culture.

In some versions of the DC Comics universe, Zeus is the father of the superhero Wonder Woman.

He also featured prominently in the Disney animated film Hercules, as well as Clash of the Titans and the Percy Jackson series.

Zeus as a bull, his mythological disguise, can be seen on modern Greek coins.
