Nevertheless, the author chose to put Zeus on the Allied side and Hades on the Axis side. I think this counts as a meta EverybodyLovesZeus and EverybodyHatesHades, though it might instead be more influenced by AmericaWonWorldWarII considering how the author puts the modern mythologies almost OnlyInAmerica. (Indeed, the dwarven god Bes from Literature/TheKaneChronicles by the same author also canonically fought on the Allied side.)

This is true, but I feel like this trope is not entirely averted. Most notably, see the WW2 backstory plot-hole. The books state that Poseidon and Zeus helped the Allies and China, while Hades helped the Axis. But looking at history it makes more sense if Poseidon supported the Western Allies (in particular, Poseidon must have loved TheBritishEmpire who ruled the waves), if Zeus supported the Axis (tyrant; eagles, SS=lightning bolts) and if Hades had a historical relation with Russia (as the god of death hence human wave tactics, god of wealth hence ironically communism, and Hades is involved in the creation of winter; arguably Hades was the first oil oligarch). It is also clear that the Forbidden Children rule hurts Zeus more than the other two, which supports the idea that he lost - though the later books imply this rule was instead imposed due to the Great Prophecy.
