** While Zeus wasn't the kindest of the Greek deities and was undoubtedly a terrible husband, he can be considered a relatively good parent. Granted, he cheated on Hera unceasingly, but he always loved the sons produced in those infidelities and often protected them from the rage of his wife, who could be ridiculously vengeful (despite the rightfulness of her indignation) and liked to vent it on the innocent children. Keep in mind also that there is a clear disconnect from how the myths portrayed him and how the Ancient Greeks saw him, with many a philosopher disdaining the myths for tainting Zeus' reputation (in fact some, like {{Creator/Plato}} considered the myths basically blasphemous for their portrayals, and he wanted the poems relating them to be banned).

Granted, he cheated on Hera unceasingly, but That and there's a fair bit of ValuesDissonance present regarding his actions. For instance, while to a modern audience, his incessant philandering would appear as cheating, back then, powerful men often had multiple romantic partners, with one wife at the top, which in Zeus case, would be Hera.

She then disapproves of her relationship with Percy and is constantly petty and spiteful in her dealings with him. She's ultimately a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who struggles with a nasty temper, which is relatively in line with mythology.

Gods associated with light and lordship over other gods are typically portrayed as heroic and relatable while their [[EverybodyHatesHades darker counterparts are super violent and manipulative and other icky stuff]]. It should be noted that this trope can apply to virtually any god/goddess of Classical Mythology, largely due to ValuesDissonance and operating AboveGoodAndEvil. And it should also be noted that the original Zeus was also capable of good deeds, therefore supporting a lot of good portrayals of him. For instance, he dotes on his children and even if they were born from his infidelities which incurred Hera's wrath, he would try his best to protect them from Hera. The sole exception is Ares, but even then, that was because Ares controls a domain that many humans dislike: war (unless you're from Sparta).
