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. Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, and the patron goddess of the city of Athens.
The Seleucid Empire was established by Seleucus I Nicator, a general of Alexander the Great, following the division of Alexander’s empire in 312 BCE. Centered in the Near East, it was a major Hellenistic state that blended Greek cultural and administrative practices with those of the diverse peoples it governed, spreading Hellenistic culture across a vast region from Anatolia to Central Asia.
