In Greek mythology, Zeus' thunderbolt was typically used to punish or defeat enemies of the gods, rather than indiscriminately harming mankind as a whole. The myths portray Zeus as having a more nuanced view of humanity, with both positive and negative traits, and his thunderbolt was reserved for specific situations where intervention was necessary.

Zeus is the Greek counterpart to Indra. Both are the god of the gods, are jealous, sexually insatiable, have thunder at their disposal, and can obliterate or punish those with whom they are displeased.
Zeus does not exist!
Zeus punishes mankind primarily through natural disasters and plagues as a response to their hubris and disobedience. A notable example is the Great Flood, sent to cleanse the earth of its wickedness, sparing only a few righteous individuals like Deucalion and Pyrrha. Additionally, in the myth of Prometheus, Zeus punishes humanity by sending Pandora, whose curiosity leads to the release of evils into the world. These acts reflect Zeus's authority and the consequences of defying the gods.
Hephaestus, the god of volcanoes, fire, and smiths, did not create any females. Perhaps you are thinking of the story of Pandora? She was the first female created, but was created by Zeus to punish mankind
He did not. Prometheus did.
Prometheus was the Titan god whom gave fire to mankind, against the wishes of Zeus.
Zeus made mankind to serve as companions and worshipers for the gods. He wanted humans to offer prayers and sacrifices to the gods in order to receive their favor and blessings. Additionally, Zeus believed that mankind could help care for the earth and carry out tasks that would benefit all living beings.
