One More Obsversation: Zeus was a Jerk, kinda


He gets mad at a guy, a guy whose wife cheated on him with Zeus, which means in the throes of passion, his wife was yelling, "Oh god," and whenever she does that thereafter, it's literal, and not about her husband, the man who throws her to the sea...

Not saying that was a nice thing to do but Zeus should know, a man can only handle so much competition... If a god, THE god, screws your wife, she ain't gonna be into you no more...

Anyhow, so he punishes this guy, and then because a guy kills winged horses (there was probably a HorseWing Franchise that made money), he's turned into Hellboy, and no woman would ever look at him lovingly: basically, in a different way, it's the same thing Zeus with his Playdough village did to the first guy: made him mean nothing to the woman he loves...

I dunno... Zeus makes the rules and at the same time sure doesn't play by em...

Well said. Also he got the Kraken to destroy the city and mass murder everyone in there.
