Zeus is exactly just like the other gods: Jupiter, Ra, Krishna, Anaterasu, Enkidu, Coyote and Jesus - or even the 'fictional ones' like Cthulhu.
If it was written by a human in a human language that's a human construct.
If god exists it would be written in a gods penmanship and we would not be able to read it. Because the ink would be galaxies on a tapestry of incomphensive amount of space and time. Who knows maybe they are still signing their names after creating everything for a kindergarten homework assignment.

Dawg that is simply not what God means in this question. I failed to communicate with anyone in this thread. We'll come back to this later after I pass this quarter, literally. I currently have literally 120% in my classes so consider yourselves all due for more confusion.

What is god in your question? I'm genuinely interested what you are trying to grasp?
God as creator of everything, god as natural force like Father Winter l, god as a teacher - god as absolute puppet master - god as a force that vast and never to be understood - god that needs worship - god that is - god that demands the right free choices - god who make sure you will find the perfect picture frame in goodwill while let's Timmy die at 16 months old from viral brain cancer?
