Zeus, god of the sky, god of Mount Olympus and of course, God of the Gods. He has the power to use thunderbolts as his own weapon. Zeus wields enormous power and authority over the other gods. But even though he was all powerful and wise, he still had a lot of weaknesses. These includes his insatiable lust. He was also fond of female charms and can be easily seduced by a woman, god or mortal.

These weaknesses were shown in the book. He was seduced by Hera in order for him to ignore the on going battle between the Trojans and the Greeks. Because of his of fond of female charms, this was no problem for Hera to seduce him. Zeus' weakness made the Trojans fall back and lose a great number of soldiers.
