Zeus became angry with Odysseus when he refused to sacrifice one lamb in gratitude for his victory in the Trojan War. He announced he was going to teach Odysseus a lesson about trifling with the gods, but Dionysus impulsively said "I got it", grabbed one of Zeus's thunderbolts, and hurled it to earth. Zeus then became angry with Dionysus because he had just destroyed Atlantis. Dionysus complained that Zeus used to be fun: "Where's the Zeus who used to turn into a cow and pick up chicks?" Zeus sharply replied, "He grew up", then commanded Poseidon to take care of Odysseus. Poseidon obeyed, delaying Odysseus so that it ended up taking him ten years to get back to Ithaca.[3]
One time Zeus created a wife for Epimetheus and named her Pandora. In wedding present he give Pandora a box and said to her at she most never open this. When Pandora later open the box the all kinds of evil come to the world.[4]

Behind the Laughter
- Zeus was portrayed by Joe Quimby in the "D'oh, Brother Where Art Thou?" segment of "Tales from the Public Domain"
- Zeus is the father of Hercules, but it's not clear what part that relationship plays in the McClure film.
- Dionysus's complaint about Zeus is a reference to Zeus's custom (in Greek mythology) of taking on the forms of animals in order to seduce mortal women.
- The point of Mayor Quimby portraying Zeus may be that he, like Zeus, is a married community leader who spends time with other women.
- Zeus was portrayed by Mr. Burns in Pandora, Jr. and by Homer in Greek to Me.
