The intention is to keep this page as focused on the Italic Jupiter as possible. The track-record of Roman god-pages is that they tend to accumulate stuff from Ovid that's more relevant to Greek myth. Someone therefore combined this page with Zeus a while ago, which I think was a wise choice given the material that was there. I've separated it and added more Rome-specific material. I'm not the king of Wikipedia, but please consider whether the material you want to add is relevant to Jupiter (god) or Zeus. Bacchiad 23:44, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name
The Greek name is surely Zeu pateer (sorry, can't write greek on this keyboard). The vocative doesn't have the final sigma. Isn't that right? Richard W.M. Jones 14:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
Copied from comment in Talk:Dyaus Pita by Simha:
Latin Juppiter is from IE. *dyeu-ph2ter (vocative), not from Iove pater, the latter being a remade vocative after thematic nouns.

You lie. Who are you? Some person from university or something? Find it in a book. You lie. We at Wikipedia will not listen to your bookless herisies! We at Wikipedia will invent our own truthes. You are the weakest link, goodbye. --24.77.216.252 07:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jupiter Trophonius
In my recent readings of Roman history I've come across a reference to a temple of "Jupiter Trophonius", which is perhaps another one of Jupiter's titles? I'm having trouble finding any information on it specifically. Could anyone help clear this up for me? – Quoth 11:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jupiter Exobotanist
I found an epithet. Does anybody know? I heard from the radio, I think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.77.216.252 (talk) 07:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Jupiter Dolichenus
Would something about Jupiter Dolichenus be suitable for this page, or would a separate page be better? I see that most epithets of Jupiter have been redirected to this page. --Nantonos 05:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- Feel free to add any epithets you've got to the page; I've done the same recently with Mars (mythology), Mercury (mythology) and Venus (mythology). If the list gets too long, we can easily make a daughter article, Epithets of Jupiter, to list them all. -Silence 07:36, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adult supervision is needed
Constructive edits since 23 December 2006 are pitifully few: see my corrective edit today. This article needs closer adult supervision. Semi-protection is apparently unavailable. --Wetman 03:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Celtic Jupiter
Jupiter was adopted by the Celts after their lands were conquered by the Romans. He was given Celtic epithets in different places, and was also equated with local gods (for example, Jupiter Beissirissa, by a tribe in southern Gaul). Since this article is concentrating on the Italic Jupiter, I was wondering, would be appropriate to list those epithets here, or in a separate article? T@nn 06:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Great! Discuss them fully here, as an aspect of Jupiter. If any individual sections were to get long enough, they could be cut and pasted to start individual articles. But an encyclopedic treatment belongs here. Keep up the good work! --Wetman 12:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'll do that. I'm using my flatmate's computer so I don't get on as often as I'd like, but I will add the entries sometime this week. And thanks for the kind words. :) T@nn 10:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
