As far as mythology goes, if Hades could be stopped by humans, so could Zeus. Zeus knew that, and therefore desperately tried to keep them loving him instead of rising against him, the way they did his brother. The story is similar to the ones the scribes wrote in the bible. The scribes wrote this stuff to keep people going to church and giving the church their money, instead of rising against people like the scribes, who fear(ed) the masses.
Zeus has no power he's not given by humans because he is not real. He was written by humans who wanted to stay in power.

The Saints were crying about cheap shots after getting hit twice by the Chicago Bears. A saint just doesn't have the same effect on an opponent as a bear, a player pulling out a crucifix and telling an opponent they will burn in hell for what they did doesnt have the same effect on somebody as hitting them twice, even if they were sucker punches in the helmet.

The powerful, competent adult on the surface belied the lifelong struggle with the silly man child/girl child underneath the surface of the skin. The one that always tried to turn everyone else into the man child/ girl child, or the 40 year old adolescent.

A kind of frisbee golf where there's no whining about sucker punches, elbows, knees, or kicks. Hitting somebody in the face with a frisbee is a hole in one, and if their glasses shatter, you get points taken off your score to make it even lower.
Jonas succumbed to his injuries on hole 18 after a particularly rough round of Full contact frisbee golf.

1) A 4 sided shape where all 4 sides make right angles
2) A type of person who doesn't like to see people have a good time. The word has old origins, there is a connection between the shape of a Europeans face and the use of the word.

A group of Indians see a group of square faced white men approaching their fire. One points and smiles and says square what do you want?
The Europeans tell them- You Indians having a good time over here? Not any more, if you stay your children will be slain and your women will be raped, what's left of you will pack up and move to Oklahoma or wherever we decide to send you. Now, you, the strong looking one, come with us.
