What are some allusions of Zeus?

[Edit]

The Lincoln memorial in Washington DC is based on the Monument to Zeus in ancient Greece.

If people tease eachother about being struck by lightning after telling a lie they are reffering to Zeus' weapon of choice, the lightning bolt.

The face of God on the Sistine Chapel is patterened after the classical images of Zeus.
