Notes: Zeus was the Greek god of the sky and thunder, equivalent to the Roman god Jupiter. He was also the king of gods in both Roman and Greek mythology.
The Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt was founded by Ptolemy I Soter, one of Alexander the Great’s generals, after Alexander's death in 323 BCE. As a significant Hellenistic kingdom based in Alexandria, it became a center of culture and learning, famously housing the Great Library, and melded Egyptian traditions with Greek practices and language.
