Zeus, the chief deity in Greek mythology, is associated with Jupiter, his Roman counterpart, due to the cultural exchange between the Greeks and Romans. When the Romans adopted Greek gods, they often renamed them to fit their own language and traditions, with Jupiter becoming the Roman equivalent of Zeus. Both deities share similar attributes, such as being gods of sky and thunder, which further solidified their connection across these two ancient cultures.
