👉 In the context of classical Greek mythology, a "renunculus" is a malevolent god who is often depicted as an archenemy of Zeus. The term originates from the Latin word for "rejection," which can be translated to mean rejection or refusal. Specifically, in Greek mythology, renunculus was a jealous deity who would seek revenge against Zeus and his realm if he did not receive his own daughter Hera's hand before her marriage to Poseidon.
