The Greeks and heroes of Greek mythology

 



                                                                          Zeus 


He is the king of the gods and oversees the universe. He is the god of the sky and thunder and therefore of energy. His attributes include the scepter and crown, the thunderbolt, the eagle, the bull, and the oak. He also obtained certain iconographic features of cultures of the ancient Near East, such as the scepter. Zeus was commonly depicted by Greek artists in two poses: standing, advancing with a raised thunderbolt in his right hand, and sitting majestically.
