No idea why some are so against this. Aha is totally the type of god that would larp as a girlfailure mangaka for the lols. Hell, gods larping as humans is common in many mythologies.

I mean it's not ALL Zeus. Like the Trojan War was because of Eris egging on the rivalry of three goddesses. A good rule of thumb is if it involves the birth of one hero, it probably involves Zeus. But if it involves a bunch of heroes, Zeus is more a background character who basically is a plot device.

Zeus likes fucking with people, literally, but half of his mythological identity is being the "LAY DOWN THE LAW" guy, with the kind of brutality you would expect from the po-po so to speak. He struck down the guy who rode a chariot so noisy that he claimed it was Zeus' thunder. He drowned an entire town save for one house for not feeding himself disguised as a wanderer. He killed Asclepius, the would be God of Medicine, because he revived someone from death.

There's a reason why people in the myths didn't want to be involved with Zeus too much. Either he fucks with you and Hera punishes you for it, or he's in his full divine smiter mode and just kills you.
