Zeus (Ζεύς)

Invocation:

Father Zeus, holder of lightning, master of storms, ruler of fair Olympus and all who there dwell.

All is within your power, all bow to your will,

great Zeus who hears all oaths, who sees justice done,

who watches over all with benevolent gaze, whose blessings are great;

awesome Zeus, I honor you.

Guardian of our homes, protector of our children, kind Zeus, I pray to you,

Guide me to be just, to act with honor, to keep my promises,

to welcome guests freely, to do what’s right.

Watch over our home and bring it to abundance, O Zeus,

watch over our children, and shield them from harm.
