Jupiter, also known as Jove, is the god of sky and thunder, as well as the king of gods in Ancient Roman Mythology. Jupiter is the top god of the Roman pantheon. Jupiter was considered the chief deity of Roman state religion during the Republican and Imperial eras until Christianity became the dominant religion. Here on his throne on Mount Olympus, he has his eagle with him. The eagle served as Jupiters personal messenger. Myths said an eagle have carried the youth Ganymede to Olympus, where he served as the gods' cupbearer. Jupiter was known to the Greeks as Zeus.

Hercules is the Roman equivalent of the Greek divine hero Heracles, son of Jupiter and the mortal Alcmene. In classical mythology, Hercules is famous for his strength and for his numerous far-ranging adventures. He is most famous for a cycle of twelve labors he did while serving his cousin Eurystheus. Antaeus, known to the Berbers as Anti, was a figure in Berber and Greek mythology. He was famed for his defeat by Heracles as part of the Labours of Hercules. Whenever Antaeus touched the Earth (his mother), his strength was renewed, so that even if thrown to the ground, he was invincible. Heracles, in combat with him (seen here in this 1915 illustration), discovered the source of his strength and, lifting him up from Earth, crushed him to death.
