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.
Behind the Laughter
- Zeus appears in the "D'oh, Brother Where Art Thou?" segment of "Tales from the Public Domain". The segment is a re-telling of the Odyssey with Joe Quimby cast in the role of Zeus, Homer as Odysseus and the Sea Captain as Poseidon.
- Zeus was also a character in the Troy McClure movie The Erotic Adventures of Hercules, where he was played by Norman Fell.
- Zeus is the father of Hercules, but it's not clear what part that relationship plays in the McClure film.
- Zeus also appears in the "Labor Pains" segment of the comic story "Greek to Me", with Homer in the role of Zeus.
