Zues rained, their crops grew! Zeus thundered, he was angry! A battle was lost, they had no sacrificed enough! A battle was won, they dedicated a trophy to Zeus Tropaios! From beginning to end Zeus has been unseen, operating the causal system of the universe in mysterious ways, and underlying ever event! He is a strange and remote force focused on our world and causing it to be as it is! The universe displays the justice of Zeus. And IT IS TOUGH JUSTICE! Neither Homer nor the tragedians nor the Philosophers thought they had his measure. Even a philosopher, Cleanthes the Stoic, might compose a hymn to him as he struggled to grasp something of Zeus's place in, or rather slightly outside, our world in the ether somehow!
