#iuppiter

[apollophanes]

A short praise of Zeus/Jupiter that I wrote:

Iuppiter, Iuppiter

O Iuppiter Rex

Iuppiter Optimus Maximus

O Rex, O Rex

Rex Deorum

Ὦ Ζεῦ Πάτερ

Ὦ Βασιλεῦ

Ὦ Ζεῦ Ἄναξ

Ὦ Βασιλεῦ

Δόξα σοί, δόξα σοί

Laus tibi, laus tibi

Δόξα σοί, δόξα σοί

Laus tibi, laus tibi

[dian-and-the-gods]

The Gods are nature

Jupiter is the rain that waters your plants and soothes you with its sound as you sleep. He's also the great storms and power that rain has and we must address through climate change care

Minerva is wisdom. You find her when learning something new about anything on the internet; when your elders teach you an old recipe or a way to do a craft; when you study for an exam and pass; She's also there when you struggle with your studies or can't wrap your head around a topic.

Mercury is there when you buy or sell something; when you find a new gig that allows you to get through the week; when you finally have enough for that thing you wanted. He's also there when you struggle with finances and when you help a friend in need.

Mercury is there when you study a new language; when you can't quite comprehend grammar classes; when you crack a joke; when you travel or go on a road trip, the whole road there is Mercury

The gods are always all around us, they are these things we interact with everyday

Iuppiter ⛈️

"O Iuppiter, who does cherish and nurture the human race, through whom we live and draw the breath of being, in whom rest the hopes and lives of all humankind, I pray You grant that this day may prosper that which I have in hand."

- Plautus Poenulus 1187-89
