Descripción
Sumario:Plutarch is very interested in religious and mythical data. Zeus is registered 542 times in his works. Zeus appears as god of heavens and atmospheric phenomena, supreme god, wise and protector of justice. It is examined his relations with other gods and assimilated beings. It is interesting to examine the appellatives attributed to the great divinity. On the other hand the relation of the god with the mortals is relevant. Plutarch also analyses the so called Zeus of the philosophers and the Egyptian god. Nevertheless in some occasions the writer is critic about certain beliefs and traditions concerning this god.
