Prior to the beginning of the film, the Muses reveal that Zeus is most famous for his defeat of the Titans in centuries past, which saved the world from the beasts' terrible rampages and also granted him his status as 'king' of the gods. In addition, he is also shown to be a caring father to his son Hercules, often fascinated in his adventures as a teenager and young adult, and a reliable voice of reason. He can however, get angry with his brother, Hades because of how evil he is.ĭespite this, the other Olympian Gods love and respect Zeus due to his fun-loving persona. Zeus has a tendency to belittle and joke with his brother Hades, which more-or-less led to the latter's animosity with the former, and Hades's plotting to overthrow Zeus and take over Olympus. At times, he tends to come out as being somewhat childish and stubborn much to his wife Hera's concern.

Like his mythological counterpart, Zeus is the powerful ruler of Olympus, however he is notably more benevolent, jovial, and easy-going.
