An-epithet-of-Zeus-Zygius-and-its-Turkic-equivalences

 Acc. to wiki:

"Zygius (Ζυγίος): As the presider over marriage. His wife Hera had also the epithet Zygia (Ζυγία). These epithets describing them as presiding over marriage."


Zygius is a surname of Zeus and Hera and some other deities.




Zygios has to do with yoke and bundle.

Zygios has also to do with Zeus who was never loyal to anybody. 

*

Now there are 2 Turkic words who could be compatible with these 2 meanings.

*


Firstly the one with the meaning of mischief and rough.


"çigan" means mischief, poor and impolite and the universal word Zigeuner (German for gypsy) derives from that Turkic word. Zeus was a man who was 
mischievous, all the time.

*


Second Turkic word is "çug", meaning bundle and later yoke.

There is also a parallel meaning to this Greek word and epithet.



*


I think the Turkic words and these Greek word have to do with each other.


*


There are other surnames / epithets of Zeus that could have a Turkic etymology like:

Imbros / Yagmur

*

Ogmenos / Ögmen
