Controlled the weather and has a planet named after him?
Jupiter is the name of the Roman god who controlled the weather by his often volatile moods, and as the leader of the Greco/Roman gods, it is fitting that the largest planet in our solar system was named after him by early, Mediterranean astronomers. However, most of the Roman gods' mythos were adapted from preexisting Greek gods' mythos, in which the name of this god was Zeus. When the Romans adopted the gods and goddesses of the Greeks as their own, they certainly changed all the names to fit within their language. Unlike their names, the stories, or mythos, of each god or goddess remained relatively unchanged, and survived the Roman adaptation. ~ TCK, AZ
