friday fun (acutally, saturday): google olympic logos

Do any googling lately?  Notice the cool Google Olympic logos, like this one:

Wondering who these guys in sheets are but you don’t have a classical education?

Have no fear:  Google Blogoscoped to the rescue.  According to the Blogoscoped, these guys are:

First of all there’s Zeus (aka Jupiter) of ancient Greek mythology, throwing lightning bolts.

The bearded man holding a trident is Poseidon (Neptune in Roman mythology), the god of the sea, and brother of Zeus.

Third in the group is Athena, among other things goddess of war, and patron goddess of Athen. Though she’s active in the Google logos, women weren’t permitted to compete in the ancient Olympics. 

Find all of the Google Olympic logos here.
