Jupiter is equivalent to Zeus, one of the most powerful of the gods. He is the youngest child of Saturn and Ops. He gave Atlas, a god, the task of carrying the universe. He is also one of the supreme gods of the Romans, whom they worship with great love. In Etruscan mythology, she is known as Tinia. She is the spouse of Juno and forms the great gods with Juno, Minerva and Mars. She is also Pollux's father.
