Zeus freed his siblings from his father Kronos and started a war to overthrow the titans. The gods won and Zeus and his brothers divided the world between themselves. Zeus took the heavens, Poseidon took the seas, and Hades took the Underworld.

At one point, Zeus fathered a demigod daughter named Thalia Grace. When she was in her early teens, Thalia died fighting a cyclops and he turned his daughter into a tree.

As the deadline approaches, Percy has yet to return the bolt. Poseidon and Athena beg him to reconsider war. The second the deadline passes, Percy has not arrived and Zeus declares war. However, a few seconds later the son of Poseidon finally arrives and returns the Master Bolt. Percy tells Zeus the real culprit is Luke Castellan and Zeus accepts the information.
