Here there is painted a face of the god Zeus and an image of Parthenon.
The author used greys and white colours for that and the paint looks stay on the air with the wind.

"In Greek mythology , Zeus is a divinity which is sometimes referred to with the title of "father of gods and men , " one who rules the gods of the Olympus as a father to a family, so that even those who were not his natural children address him as such. He is the king of the gods and oversees the universe. He is the god of the sky and thunder and therefore of energy. His attributes include the scepter and crown (as symbols of his power), the thunderbolt , the eagle , the bull, and the oak.. In addition to his Indo-European heritage, the classic "cloud-gatherer" Zeus also obtained certain iconographic features from ancient Near Eastern cultures , such as the scepter . Zeus was commonly depicted by Greek artists in two poses: standing, advancing with a raised thunderbolt in his right hand, and sitting majestically.

Son of Cronos and Rhea , he was the youngest of their descendants. In most traditions he appears married to Hera (his sister and wife) although in the oracle of Dódona his wife was Dione , with whom according to the Iliad he is the father of Aphrodite . He is known for his numerous adventures and lovers, the fruit of which were many deities and heroes, including Athena , Apollo , Artemis , Hermes , Persephone , Dionysus , Perseus , Heracles ,Helena , Minos , the Muses and nymphs like Echo. With Hera it is often said that Zeus was the father of Ilithia , Ares , Enio , Hebe and Hephaestus .

In Greek, the name of the god is Zeús in the nominative case and ???? god in the genitive . The oldest forms of the name are the Mycenaean di-we and di-wo , written in Linear B . The word Zeus is related to god and to Jupiter (from Dyu-piter * Dyeu-, 'light' and piter, 'pater , father'), and this, in turn, with brightness, daylight.

Its equivalent in Roman mythology was Jupiter ; in the Etruscan , Tinia ; in Hinduism , Diaus Pitar ; in the Egyptian , Amon ; and in the Canaanite , Baal ."
