Zeus is the king of the gods
in Greek mythology. He is known as Jove,
and Jupiter, in Roman mythology. He
commonly appears in fictional works like comic books. In current Wonder Woman mythology, He is the
father of Wonder Woman.
A long time ago, God almighty
also known as Zeus grew tired of humans’ evil ways that He decided to sink the
world in flood.
Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha
were spared from the destruction because they built an ark stocked with
essentials.
Sounds familiar? This is essentially the story of Noah’s ark.
Noah and Deucalion are
protagonists in several variants of the flood myth across cultures. Noah’s ark is possibly the most famous flood
story of our time.
The flood narrative finds its
origin in ancient Mesopotamian epics including the Epic of Gilgamesh which predates both the Holy Bible and ancient
hellenistic polytheism.
Reading about history and
archaeology along with the Holy Bible makes one realize the good book is
literary. The Bible is allegorical at
least, a work of historical fiction at best.
