I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for here, but as a deity, Zeus was the embodiment of what it meant to be a Greek man. He was perfect in form and was often cavorting with other women, while remaining attached to his wife. He could be a doting father, but was usually forceful and firm, like a father should be in the Greek ideal. He was the king and his word was law, just as the man was king of his house and his word was final there.
