The supreme deity in the Greco-Roman pantheon is the father archetype at its most uncompromising, ruthless and dominant. The powerful presence of any authority figure in your dream may evoke anxiety about the father figure, or other figures of authority in your life. As Jung pointed out, ‘here is the archetypal leader, the voice of collective authority, the Lord, king or tyrant, but also protector, the figure whose word is law.’ It is important to bear in mind that sometimes Zeus got it wrong and was ridiculed by his subjects.
