Zeus (cont.)
• Ancient-I chose this picture because it depicts him with
his attributes and what the Greco people thought of
him in that time. I liked the way it showed his heroic
stature. With the built body and a thick beard, it seems
like he has been through a lot. With his expression he
looks like a king. That is why I chose this picture.
• Modern- I chose this picture because it showed the
more super heroish side of Zeus. Even though he is
shown with white hair, he is more built then the other
Zeus. He also looks more battle hardened. He is also
depicted with more godly weaponry. That is why I
chose this picture.
