Zeus - God of Lightning and King of the Gods
This statue of the Greek mythological God Zeus is shown sitting on what is supposed to be his throne. The statue is broken because it was buried underground for thousands of years. His two arms are also missing. In one hand, he is supposed to be carrying his great lightning bolt and in the other, he is supposed be holding a staff with an eagle at the top of it. The two objects are Zeus's symbols of power.
