History

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.

In a movie about the first olympics made by Homer and Bart they tell at the olympics was created after Zeus (played by Homer) was boring and threatened to wipe out everything on earth if they could not entertain him. Zeus liked the olympic and he find out at he will rest of his life just wants to watch sports, drink and eat ribs. When Zeus' wife (playe by Marge) asked him why he liked wrestling, he told her at its for most of them are not wearing clothes which made his wife to also start watching the sport.

In Lisa's movie about the olympic she tell at the Olympic was not started with help from Zeus and the olympic flames was introduced in Berlin 1936 Olympics as a symbolic for Prometheus steal the fire from Zeus.
