Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Legends

Zeus is very tall, imposing, and very muscular. He has brilliant electrically-blue eyes with a serious and proud, but very handsome face. However, when Zeus is infuriated, his face becomes "as dark as a thundercloud." In addition, when he is saddened, Zeus' gaze seemed "as far away as the ozone layer" to Jason. Zeus' normal attire is a dark blue pinstriped suit.

Zeus, as the most powerful god and the king of the gods, is very proud, commanding and has an extremely high amount of self-respect, almost to the point of sanctimoniousness, condescension and narcissism. He demands respect and precedence from mortals, demigods, and the other gods. If Zeus imagines that he is being plotted against or insulted, he can be very unforgiving. Zeus often allows his negative traits to override his better judgment. Zeus decisions are not always based on justice, but rather his personal whims and what he sees as best for himself, rather than the greater good. Zeus absolutely hates being humiliated and tries assigning blame to others to avoid making himself look at all bad. He does love his children, but cannot show as much love as the other gods do, as he is the leader and must set an example.

In the aftermath of the conflicts, Zeus focused on strengthening the bonds within his divine family and ensuring the stability of Olympus. Recognizing the importance of unity, he began to work more closely with his fellow gods, fostering cooperation and addressing old grievances. His leadership style evolved, becoming more inclusive and tempered with wisdom gained from the recent turmoil.
