3 K1.1 ZEUS Museum Collection: Musée du Louvre, Paris, France Catalogue Number: Louvre G204 Beazley Archive Number: 201898 Ware: Attic Red Figure Shape: Amphora Painter: Attributed to the Berlin Painter Date: can 470 - 460 BC Period: Late Archaic SUMMARY Zeus aims his lightning bolt at a giant (not shown). An eagle sits perched on his other hand. NOTE This image is a montage of two photos of the vase. ARTICLES ZeusZeus, Porphyrion, GigantesPorphyrionGigantes Theoi Project Copyright © 2000 - 2007, Aaron Atsma Image Pre 476 A.D. I chose this picture of Zeus because I believe it portrays his “job” as a god. He was the greatest of the gods and I think this picture captures his power. This picture also drew me to questions. What is he trying to aim at with his scepter? Or, why is he in the middle of nowhere? I also chose this picture because the scepter is one of his most known attributes; the scepter. I chose this image because this is how I portray Zues.

4 Image Post-1400 A.D. I chose this picture of Zeus because it shows his power. He is dominating over the eagle because he is stepping on the eagle. It also portrays his character traits of a muscular and bearded man. It is also showing his power because he is sitting on a throne. It also makes me ask, why is he sitting on something he created? I chose this image of Zeus because this is how I portray him.
