My favorite trivia related to dyews is that the Greek "theos" (theology etc) is unrelated despite the sinilarity, but the Greek "Zeus" is :)

Oh yeah that’s a good one. Both Zeus and Jupiter are cognates of Dyus Pter (Sky Father) of old Indo European mythology. They just took different parts of that name.
