Are there any illogical religious books "inspired" by Zeus?

I suspect that all religious books will be illogical to you.

Actually if you do some study you will find because Zeus never existed no one claims to have seen him and no books were left behind. In contrast many of the greatest legal minds in history have come out in favour of stating the witnesses of the gospels were written by honest, capable men. The expert witnesses include Hugo Grotius(father of modern law). Professor Simon Greenleaf(his writings are still used to teach what is admissable evidence he also wrote a volume examining the testimony of the witnesses in a court of law. Then include J.N.D. Anderson expert in muslim and oriental law. Sir Robert Anderson lawyer and chief inspector of Scotland Yard twice knighted by the queen for his abilities to sift through the mazes of lies and uncover truth. Then add Lord Hailsham, John Singleton Copely (Lord Lyndhurst) considered the greatest legal mind in British history, Lord Caldicote, Irwin Linton and many more.

No, it's Mythology
Roman Jupiter is completely identical with the Greek Zeus
ZEUS was the king of the gods, the god of sky and weather, law, order and fate.
He was depicted as a regal man, mature with sturdy figure and dark beard. His usual attributes were a lightning bolt, royal sceptre and eagle.

No, I don't believe in Zeus; then again I don't believe in any deity.
There are books but they aren't labeled as religious they are labeled as myth and actually the stories about him are quite entertaining.

The new testament has traces of Zeus in it. It refers to both Hades and Tartatus, which were part of the mythological system.

Yes I believe he EXISTS, but he isn't part of my personal pantheon. And no Odin is not the same as Zeus. I'm not sure about Holy Books. I'm not Hellenistic.

The mythological Zeus did not leave any scriptures behind.

Well, there were certainly plenty of sexual escapades written about that randy son-of-a-Titan. Changed himself into almost anything imaginable if it meant he could come down to earth and chase the game. A swan, a golden rain shower (let's not touch *that* one, shall we?) a bull... If a cute piece of Mediterranean tail was up for grabs, the big guy was there.
And yeah -- I guess I "believe" in him as much as I "believe" in all the rest of his crew. ; )
