Character Information
|
Zeus is the main deity in Greek mythology, known as the "Father of Gods and men".
History
Zeus became angry with Odysseus when he refused to sacrifice one lamb in gratitude for his victory in the Trojan War. Odysseus then tried to sail home to Ithaca, but Zeus commanded Poseidon to delay his trip so that it ended up taking ten years.

- Zeus was also a character in the Troy McClure movie The Erotic Adventures of Hercules, where he was played by Norman Fell.
