wait...Jupiter=God (Roman word for God)
So God saved us all?

Well, yeah, that's kind of like the same thing because the Roman stories are taken directly from the Greeks, and thus are literally the exact same figures. A main difference would be that the Romans praised different gods more fiercely, such as Bacchus/Dionysus, who was not as important to the Greeks.
Sure some stories were added, but it was literally the exact same figure for both Greeks and Romans. As in, both sides hailed the same gods as shown in The Trojan War. Troy, which can be called a sort of "early Rome", was home to Aeneas, the sole survivor (alongside his Father and Son), who's lineage began Rome.
TL;DR Jupiter is the equivalent of Zeus, but it might as well be the word for Zeus, because they are one and the same entity.
