Jehovah the Jupiter

[Elessar]

Unless it is a string of matres lectionis.

But it is only a tradition.

Both your assertions are true.

 

[gnostic]

Linear B, the writing of the Bronze Age civilizations of Minoans in Crete and Mycenaeans/Achaeans in mainland Greece, predated the Greek writing systems, which we know as Greek alphabets. These Linear B writings have been found in both the cities of Knossos in Crete, and in Mycenaean city of Pylos, Messenia.

In Greek, Zeus is also known as Di-wei, which means God, which is fairly close to Indo-European dyeus. In Linear B, it is DI-WO in Knossos, and DI-WE or DI-WI-JE-U in Pylos. The variations of DI-WO, DI-WE and DI-WI-JE-U seemed close enough to translate into Diwei in Greek.

There are Linear B names that are close enough to the Greek names, would indicate that the Minoan/Mycenaean pantheon didn't die out with the Dorian invasions (which also included the Ionians and Aeolians) and the Dark Ages.

In any case, it is clear that the Greeks had inherited some of the Minoan/Mycenaean pantheon of the Bronze Age. In that perspective, I am very doubtful about the Greeks deriving their Zeus from the Israelite Yahweh/El, or vice versa.

Uranus=Anu *EL
Kronos/Saturn=Enki *Dagan
Zeus/Jupiter=Marduk *Baal/Bel

Anu,Enki and Marduk are all called El in Lavitine or the Elohim, El,Dagan,Baal are really one and the same but each of diffrent generations.

EL, means "Most High" thus Heaven, EL is called Father of Gods, ANU is babylonian meaning Heaven.

Dagan is the God of Harvest and agriculture, The greek word for Dagan is Siton meaning wheat and is parrelaled to Saturn. Cronus is also repressented with time plus he holds a Sickle thus "Time of Harvest" Siton Kronos. Siton and Satan are linguisticly similer "STN", Dagan is said to were the word Dragon came from and in revalation satan is called a Dragon. Dagon in myth is also associated with the Sea, as some image shows holding a 3 pointed fork or a tridant, Dagan in babylonian is Enki, God of Sea/agriculture and Wisdom. Wisdom is associated with satan.

Baal can be associated with Thunder and Weatherm as the Canaanite "lord" or Baal, was also known by the names Hadad or Rimmon, "the Thunderer". Zeus is usally associated with Thunder, Baal and Zeus are also both associated with Bulls, Marduk means "bull calf of the sun" Marduk is also called BEL, whom associated with thunder in Zodiac he is associated with the Age of Taurus.
