Aim- Juno Jupiter and Ulysses Thomas Van Atta

Juno and Jupiter are both roman gods more commonly known as Zeus and Hera in Greek mythology. While Ulysses is more commonly known as Odysseys in Greek folklore. Jupiter is concerned with all affairs of everyday life and leader of the gods. Jupiter has two brothers Neptune and Pluto or Poseidon and Hades. Juno is god of women and interferes with their lives and is Jupiter’s sister and wife.Juno “was goddess and protector of women, concerned especially with their sexual life. In later religion she became, however, the great goddess of the state and was worshiped, in conjunction with Jupiter and Minerva, at the temple on the Capitol,” she was the second highest god being directly related and married to Jupiter (Juno). Ulysses being a mortal man was known in a popular story “Ulysses, the Latin equivalent of the Greek Odysseus, was the king of Ithaca, a Greek island,” His name was changed by the Romans for their own benefit (Ellingson). All tree of these were prominent in Greek culture but served one purpose whether that be to entertain and teach a lesson the story of Ulysses, or to be the form of worship for the people of Rome.

History-Juno, Jupiter, Ulysses Haley Stamper

Juno, Jupiter and Ulysses were called Hera, Zeus, and Odysses by the Greeks but before they were adopted by the Romans. Juno and Jupiter were known as the queen and king of the gods, and are both spouses and siblings. Jupiter is known as the god of light, skies and the laws of Rome. Juno was known by the Romans as the protector of the capital Rome and the guardian spirit of females and marriage. Theirs was not a happy union as Juno was tricked into marrying Jupiter in the beginning according to a Greek story. Another problem in there marriage was best put as saying “Like all Greek divinities, Zeus was subject to pleasure, pain, grief, and anger, but he was most susceptible to the power of Eros – love.” (zeus-publications.com) And the love Jupiter felt for woman got him and his lovers in much trouble with Juno who was depicted as cruel and petty, taking vengeance on Jupiter’s lovers and going against Jupiter himself. Once she even managed to incite a rebellion among the gods against Jupiter, though it didn’t work. Another Greek character adopted by Romans was Ulysses, known as Odysses by the Greeks. Ulysses was the commander in the Trojan War who came up with the idea for the famous wooden horse that let them into the city. He was the hero of Homers Illiad and Odyssey who faced the cyclone, a Cyclops, an island of cannibal, a journey to the underworld, a six headed sea monster, a whirlpool, sirens, and the wrath of Zeus for killing Helios’ sacred cattle. In the stories of Ulysses we see how active the gods were to be in the lives of mortals. Ulysses receives aid from his patron goddess Athena, also called Minerva, and Jupiter who was the father of Minerva. He also made himself the enemy of Poseidon, also called Neptune, and Juno, just to name a few.

Culture – Ulysses, Juno, and Jupiter Joy Kosik



In ancient Rome the gods and goddesses had much to do with daily lives. For example, wives would pray to the goddess Juno in hopes of being granted with a healthy baby. The people would pray to a god and give sacrifices, hoping to get something for their worship. People believed that the gods had a hand in life every day, and were afraid of upsetting the gods. In order to please them, people would build many temples to them, as well as hold festivals and rituals. Juno and Jupiter are wife and husband, as well as siblings. They are the king and queen of the Roman gods, equivalent to Zeus and Hera. The Odyssey is a story that was told by Homer, a blind poet. This book illustrates the interactions between men and the gods, telling the story of Ulysses. Greeks loved to tell stories, which often had lessons and deeper meanings. The Odyssey, and the character Ulysses, is a prime example of how they believed the gods and men interacted. Greeks told stories all the time, always having myths and poems and things like that to share. In culture, telling these stories about men and gods was of huge importance.
