Presentation Transcript

  1. Zeus(Jupiter) • Parents: Kronos and Rhea • Sphere of Influence: King all of Greece, Olympus, and Heaven • Attributes: King of the gods, weather, law, order and fate; always had a lighting bolt, royal sceptre, and an eagle • Birth Place: Diktaion cave, nursed by Amaltheia and guarded by the shield-clashing Kouretes • Place favored: Mount Olympus

  2. Pre 475 A.D. • I chose this picture from before 475 A.D. because it showed almost all of his attributes in one picture. He is seen with his lightning bolt and his eagle. The way that he is presented describes the way the ancient Greeks did; a mature man that is a king. In the eyes of the ancient Greeks, he is the king of the gods and the one that can take everything all away; the Greeks revered him because of this. To wrap things up, Zeus is the king and will always be king.

  3. Modern Art • I chose this picture from modern art because it just looked like what people would think of when they think of Zeus. Since he is king of the gods, he would need to be fit and strong. Going along with the subject, he was always depicted as an aged man that looked like a king. This picture certainly shows that description. In the end, whenever people think of Zeus, they see a strong, mature man that is all-powerful and all-knowing.
