The Roman god Jupiter, the "Optimus Maximus", the highest and most powerful of the gods, is essentially synonymous with or identical to the Greek god Zeus. The following describes the origin of Zeus since the article on Jupiter does not describe a distinct origin for Jupiter.
Zeus was the son of Cronos and Rhea. Cronos was the youngest of the Titans, son of Uranus and Ge (Heaven and Earth). Uranus was "the first ruler of the world".
