| 1394 | ENT_ZEUS | received_as | ENT_CHR_DEVIL | medium | Justin Martyr (1 Apol. 5) argues that Satan and the evil demons orchestrated all pagan worship; as sovereign of the Olympians, Zeus was structurally mapped to Satan as sovereign of the demonic realm. Augustine (City of God II.14) treats Jupiter/Zeus as the pre-eminent false deity whose example licensed all moral depravity in Roman religion. The structural correspondence — king of heaven / prince of demons — made Zeus the natural Olympian counterpart to the Christian Devil. | SRC_JUSTIN_MARTYR_APOLOGIES | reviewed | PER_PATRISTIC |
