From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  ZEUS, n.  The chief of Grecian gods, adored by the Romans as Jupiter
  and by the modern Americans as God, Gold, Mob and Dog.  Some explorers
  who have touched upon the shores of America, and one who professes to
  have penetrated a considerable distance to the interior, have thought
  that these four names stand for as many distinct deities, but in his
  monumental work on Surviving Faiths, Frumpp insists that the natives
  are monotheists, each having no other god than himself, whom he
  worships under many sacred names.
