Zeus is the god's name in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Zeus is the chief god. Both Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon mention him. The chorus and characters reference other gods as well: Aries the war god, Bacchus the wine god, Hades the Underworld god and Persephone the Underworld goddess.
