Zeus

The meaning of Zeus is ‘to shine’. It is a name typically given to boys and is of Greek origin. It comes from the word ‘zeús’ meaning ‘shine’ which derives from the Greek word ‘di̯ēus’ which means ‘sky God’. Zeus is one of the most powerful and well-known Greek gods. He is the king of gods and also god of the sky and thunder. He is the father of Perseus and Dionysus, among other mythical Greek figures. According to mythology, Zeus saved his siblings' lives after his father ate them at birth out of fear that they would be born with greater power. Zeus, however, was concealed at birth and went on to manipulate his father into liberating his siblings. He is also the brother of Poseidon, the god of the sea. He is known to have many lovers and to have conceived many children. In Roman mythology, he is also regarded as Jupiter, the sky God. He was perceived to be a powerful and wise man with a beard, an eagle and a thunderbolt. His story is used to set the tone for the DC comic character, Zeus.
