Zeus was the Greek king of gods. The Odyssey includes everything in the Iliad and of Odysseus's journey home. So pretty much imagine all of one story and then all of the next story.
Zeus didn't have any major roles with helping or hurting Odysseus in the Odyssey so I wouldn't say he really have any events.
The only thing I can remember Zeus doing was making Calypso release Odysseus from her island so he could come home.
He is the father of Zeus.
Homer's epic, The Odyssey, begins with the invocation, in which the poet asks the Muse for help in telling the story. The story starts on mount Olympus, with an entreaty of Athena to Zeus, her father, asking him to aid Odysseus in escaping Calypso's island and gaining his long overdue homecoming.
Zeus, The King of Gods.
Several gods took part in the Odyssey. The main gods are Athena, Zeus Poseidon and Hermes.
The events of the Iliad all take place before the Odyssey. The war at Troy has ended, with the Greeks victorious; the Greeks sack the city. Technically, the start of the Odyssey starts many years after the war at Troy ends. By this time, most of Odysseus' journey is already over, although we do not yet know of these events. It is hard to give away more of the events without spoiling the narrative of the story.

The writer uses the literary technique of "flashbacks" to reveal events that happened earlier in the story in "The Odyssey." Flashbacks are narrative devices that allow the author to interrupt the chronological flow of the story and provide background information or context for the reader.
