Exactly. Zeus had the fricking Master Bolt, which is so destructive. He knew the Titans' new headquarters were at Mt Tamalpais. Why couldn't he just bust the black palace?

MOST STUPID ZEUS MOMENT: He is the Lord of the Universe and he doesn't even have a standing army to defend Mt Olympus, when the Titans were invading.

Poseidon, on the other hand was busy fighting a war with the other sea gods like over a year. Most of his power was being drained on preventing the war from destroying the world. Hades was smart enough to see the reality. He was busy setting up defences in the Underworld. In the Heroes of Olympus, Hades was again smart enough to guide Nico to Camp Jupiter.

Zeus gave such pathetic excuses after beating the Giants, I am sure none of the gods bought it.
