Deus and Zeus both come from the Proto Indo-European Dyēus (also *Dyēus ph2ter), as does Jupiter, the Vedic Dyaus Pita and others. Also Theos, Dios and Dio, the modern Greek, Italian and Spanish words for God are likely connected. In modern spelling Deus and Zeus differ only in it's first letter, all 3 they have in common are the last part of Arceus. | ||

The Roman pantheon IS the Greek pantheon, just with new Latin names, and Italian & Spanish are both derived from Latin. ![]() And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six." |

Some of the Identification where pretty accurate like Jupiter and Zeus. But other where way off like Saturn and Kronos. |
