Iovis

Jupiter — Iuppiter in Latin, Iovis in the genitive case — was the king of the Roman gods, the supreme deity of the Olympian pantheon, equivalent to the Greek Zeus. The name derives from the Proto-Indo-European *Dyēus ph₂tēr (sky father), cognate with Sanskrit Dyaus Pitā, Greek Zeus Patēr, and the Vedic divine sky. Jupiter governed thunder, lightning, kingship, law, and cosmic order. He was also, crucially for the word's etymology, associated with benevolence, abundance, and the positive aspect of supreme power: unlike the terrifying face of divine wrath, Jupiter's favorable aspect brought good weather, successful harvests, and fortunate outcomes.
