Zeus is the king of the Greco-Roman gods, lord of storms and patron of kings, renowned for his wisdom, his battle prowess, and his unflincing dedication to sticking his dick in everything that catches his eye. Even moreso than the average member of the Greek pantheon, he tends to treat everyone else quite poorly and is a serial rapist, making 3e trying to sweep that under the rug by giving him a good alignment serious Fail. His bastard son Heracles (Hercules to the Romans) is likely the single most famous mythical demi-god.
He is most relevant to /tg/ for appearing in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition as part of the Olympian pantheon to be worshipped by player character and NPCs. As such, he appears as part of the Great Wheel and is an important NPC in Planescape.
