Jupiter, aka Jove, is the king of Roman gods and the god of sky and thunder, equivalent of the Greek god Zeus. This monarch of the heavens was father to many of the gods. Jupiter was venerated in ancient Roman religion, and is still venerated in Roman Neopaganism. His symbols include: the oak, the eagle, the bull and the thunderbolt. He was the patron god of the Roman state ruling over laws and social order. Jupiter was the son of Saturn who was born from Uranus which is the name of the Heaven. His mother was Ops (or Opis) and they were both from the race of Titans, who were the children of Earth and Heaven, which sprang from Chaos. The thunder was his weapon and he bore a shield called Aegis which made for him by Vulcan. The eagle was his favorite bird, and bore his thunderbolts.
