Zeus as well as all of the other gods did not allow humans to believe they were better than the gods. This crime was called hubris and there are several examples of humans being punished for this crime. For example psyche believing she was more beautiful than Aphrodite and Prometheus taking fire from the gods.

How did Zeus' and Prometheus' attitudes toward humans differ?

Zeus really was all about having power over the humans. He saw himself as almighty and thought nothing of the mortals. On the other hand Prometheus was willing to give himself for the humans. He was thought to bring fire to the earth from Mt. Olympus.

Of course all of this is in Greek Mythology.
