JUPITER

Picture of Jupiter

Jupiter was a Roman god based upon a fusion of the Etruscan god Tinia and the Greek god Zeus. In Roman mythology, Jupiter was supreme ruler of the universe, responsible for all kinds of weather, especially lightning and rain, and the stories surrounding him are mainly borrowed from Greek stories about Zeus.
