  6. Zeus (cont.) • Ancient-I chose this picture because it depicts him with his attributes and what the Greco people thought of him in that time. I liked the way it showed his heroic stature. With the built body and a thick beard, it seems like he has been through a lot. With his expression he looks like a king. That is why I chose this picture. • Modern- I chose this picture because it showed the more super heroish side of Zeus. Even though he is shown with white hair, he is more built then the other Zeus.
