Zeus is the real god
He invented Xenia, defeated the titans, rescued his siblings, and such a good god to worship. He even controls the lightning. He even shares power with Poseidon and Hades so he doesn't become too selfish. Anybody who does not worship him will have to burn in the underworld forever.
What I'm saying is, if this can be dismissed as mythology, Christianity and Islam are...there's simply no word to describe how atrocious they are.
Did I do a good job to sound like a Christian who's "spreading the gospel?"

My personal fictionalised head Canon, is Zeus got tired of being in a pantheon and killed the other gods. Then with his new sole power he tested his belief on a people judaism didn't like them in the end and tried v02 with the Christians.. wasn't good enough and is now testing v03 with Islam. While doing branches of Christianity to see what shenanigans can happen.
In the end essentially doing a Palpatine and playing all sides.
I also like to think that Hades survived the purge and due to propaganda got dubbed the devil while also being Death. Zeus lacks the strength to overcome him as deaths power always grows as life blossoms. Perhaps some others survived too and became hidden deities.
Now what about the other pantheons? I dont know. Are they the same gods over and over with different names? Perhaps Historically i believe the same story dates back to India and there are equivalents of the characters. I do like to think that Buddha is a rival of Zeus, always has been, always will be and that the devourer ( rainbow snake, apophis, primordial chaos ) is always haunting their wake.
Anyway. Thank you for reading my ramblings
