Zeus- The almighty Zeus, king of the gods. He oversees Odysseus journey home and often interfered with Odysseus journey. He either causes roadblocks or saving Odysseus's life. In the story after Helios came and complained about his cattle being killed. Zeus is forced to punish Odysseus' men, by throwing lightning bolts at them and breaking their ship apart. This killed everyone onboard, except Odysseus, who got away and Zeus helped him escape from the eyes of Scylla- the sea monster.
