GOD ZEUS ON GREEK CURRENCY

Zeus - the Father of Gods and men. He is the Leader of the Hellenic Pantheon, the One who commands thunder and lightning. Wise and protective towards those who ask for His guidance, He is a fierce punisher of wrong- doers and oath- breakers. Zeus is the most imposing figure of the Hellenic Religious Tradition. His country, Greece, has issued plenty of banknotes with his majestic image.
