Zeus & Poseidon Artwork

The Greek gods had much in common with Sumerian deities. Zeus was the Greek equivalent of Enlil (later Ammon), Babylonian God of Heaven and Earth. Poseidon was the Greek equivalent of Oannes, the standard of marine gods for the Sumerians. Zeus, lord of Olympus, was a weather god, controller of lightning, thunder and rain. The thunder was the symbol of power and one of his most powerful weapons, which he used to correct people. Hephaestus manufactured thunderbolts at Etna and Zeus threw them from Mount Olympus. If we take the myth literally, then we would say that Hephaestus manufactured some sort of weapon that appeared thunder-like as no one knew anything equivalent. Poseidon, God of the Sea, possessed control of the waves and the tides, also the springs and rivers, and was considered responsible for geological phenomena such as earthquakes. He majestically held the sign of his reign, the Trident, which gave him the power both to create storms and calm the waters. The Trident has also been used as a powerful weapon in many other mythologies, which makes one wonder if indeed this kind of weapon existed.
