Zeus (in
Greek:
nominative: Zeús,
genitive: Diós) in
Greek mythology is the king of the gods, the ruler of
Mount Olympus, and god of the
sky and
thunder. His symbols are the
thunderbolt,
eagle,
bull and the
oak. In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical Zeus also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the
ancient Near East, such as the
scepter. Zeus is frequently envisaged by Greek artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward, a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand, or seated in majesty.
