Jupiter, alternatively Jove, is the head of the Roman pantheon. He is the son of Saturn and grandson of Uranus. His siblings are Vesta, Neptune, Ceres, Pluto and Juno, who is also his wife. He is the father of many entities, including Apollo, Hercules, Diana, Minerva, Vulcan, Venus, Bacchus and Mars, who number among the Olympians, as well as several other mortals, demigods and deities.
The planet Jupiter
He is the Roman adaptation of the Greek god Zeus and, like Zeus, is a sky deity. Jupiter lends his name to the largest of the planets in our Solar System.
Etymology
The name Jupiter is derived from the Greek Zeus Pater (Father Zeus), via the Etruscan Diespater. As such, the name is cognate with Zeus, Diana, his own daughter, and the vedic sky god Dyaus.
