Jupiter

Jupiter is both the roman name of the Greek god of the sky and one of the nine planets found in our solar system, the Milky Way.  This is one example of how the real world relates to mythology.  Both have surprisingly similar characteristics.  For one thing, Jupiter is the most massive planet and Jupiter is the most powerful god of all the other Greek gods in mythology, performing feats perhaps akin to magic tricks.  This shows that both the planet and the god have control and are overpowering.  The two are also similar in that they both have weather characteristics.  The planet Jupiter has a high velocity of winds and the god Jupiter is the god of sky, rain, thunder, and lightning.
