Publisher's Synopsis
Jupiter: The Supreme Aryan God is a book written by F. Max Muller, a renowned scholar of comparative religion. The book explores the history, mythology, and worship of Jupiter, one of the most important gods in the ancient Roman pantheon. Muller examines Jupiter's origins in the Indo-European culture and his development as a deity in Rome, where he was worshipped as the god of the sky, thunder, and lightning, as well as the protector of the state and the Roman people. The author also delves into the symbolism and iconography associated with Jupiter, including his various epithets, attributes, and cults. Muller's analysis of Jupiter's role in the Roman religion sheds light on the cultural and religious practices of ancient Rome, as well as their connections with other Indo-European cultures. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Roman mythology, comparative religion, or the history of ancient civilizations.THIS 56 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Lectures on the Science of Language, by F.
