“How can anyone who, while worshiping Zeus the God of Companions, sees their neighbors in need and does not give them a penny – how can they think they are worshiping Zeus properly?”

— Julian, Emperor of Rome, Letter to Arsacius, High-priest of Galatia (via honorthegods)

Like Zeus gives a shit

Zeus Philios | Zeus of Frienship

Zeus Xenios | Zeus of Hospitality and Strangers

Zeus Phyxiosb| Zeus of Refuge

Zeus Theos Agathos | Zeus The Good God

Zeus Epidôtês | Zeus Giver of Good

Zeus Sôtêr | Zeus Savior ans Deliver

Zeus Meilikhios | Zeus who is Gracious and Merciful

Zeus Laoitês | Zeus of the People

Xenia and the masculine form Xenios are epithets of Athena and Zeus, describing them as presiding over the laws of hospitality, and protecting strangers.

He also protects the home, essential needs, and family prosperity, under 2 epithets and 1 daimon.

Zeus cares.

Zeus “gives a shit.”
