What does a Zeus tattoo symbolize?
Zeus. Just his name is powerful. One word, one syllable and all the power of the King of the Gods is in your mind. He’s inextricably linked with the Ancient Greek religion whose tales of flawed mythological figures are as widespread now as they were then. From Hercules to Aphrodite they all bowed before the King, Zeus.
Getting a Zeus tattoo symbolizes power first and foremost. Zeus’ symbols were the lightning bolt, the eagle, the bull and the oak tree. All symbols of strength. Zeus lived on Mount Olympus where he ruled the world and imposed his will onto God and man alike.
Zeus tattoos can also symbolize a connection to Ancient Greek mythology or Greek ancestry in general. If your forefathers hailed from that part of the world a Zeus tattoo can symbolize an honoring of that ancestry, a love of that country and an ode to its history.
