Jove

The Kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks

When we read that Jove whipped his wife, and threw her son out of the window, the inference is that Jove was a man, and actually did something like the thing described; certainly gods, sublimated spirits, aerial sprites, do not act after this fashion; and it would puzzle the mythmakers to prove that the sun, moon, or stars whipped their wives or flung recalcitrant young men out of windows.

No vassal god, nor of his train am I.Three brothers, deities, from Saturn came,And ancient Rhea, earth's immortal dame;Assigned by lot our triple rule we know;Infernal Pluto sways the shades below:O'er the wide clouds, and o'er the starry plainEthereal Jove extends his high domain;My court beneath the hoary waves I keep,And hush the roaring of the sacred deep.
