17:2 · All these four graphs are ideograms for Zeus, the dominating god in Greek mythology. Zeus was the youngest son of Chronos (see 17:7) and Gaia, and the brother of Poseidon (see 05:6) and Hades. He was equipped with a thunderbolt or a bundle of thunderbolts as his staff of power. Zeus was the Almighty Father and ruler of the forces of weather. His counterpart in Roman mythology was Jupiter. See 17:1 above.
    Zeus was also graphically symbolized by the signs 53:38, 54:46, 18:27, and 17:4. But these signs could also be used for the same meanings as those of the following three entry signs.
