| - Zeus (; in Greek: nominative: Zeús, genitive: Diós) in Greek mythology is the king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus and the god of the sky and thunder. His symbols are the thunderbolt, eagle, bull and oak. In addition to his Indo-European inheritance, the classical "cloud-gatherer" also derives certain iconographic traits from the cultures of the ancient Near East, such as the scepter. Zeus is frequently depicted by Greek artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward, with a thunderbolt leveled in his raised right hand or seated in majesty.

Campus Crusade for Zeus is an North American religious organization similar in nature to Campus Crusade for Christ, differing primarily in its theological base. Whereas the latter drives is message of Christianity towards college students of all ages, the former seeks a revitalization (and, ultimately, resurrection) of the ancient Greek Deity, Zeus.
