Ancient Rome• Jovial – good-humored; cheerful; JOCULAR
• Jupiter was the chief deity of the Roman pantheon (all the gods of a particular mythology). The Romans believed that each of their gods possessed particular attributes of character. As the most powerful god, Jupiter was majestic and authoritative. However, he was also believed to be fun-loving and the source of joy and happiness. Since Jupiter was also known as Jove, the word JOVIAL came to refer to people who have a cheerful, jolly temperament.
•
• Today, Jovial still retains its meaning of good-humored, cheerful, and JOCULAR. While most people do not associate JOVIAL with Jupiter, they do associate the word with Santa Claus. Often referred to as “JOVIAL old St. Nicholas,” Santa Claus is usually presented as a jolly, good-humored man who brings presents to well behaved children.
