I don't think Zeus had a favorite child. He was all about creating a huge family. He had children (either god,demi-god, or mortal) everywhere. I also kind of think that his favorites might of been his most popular children, like Athena, Apollo, and etc.

Pallas Athene (or Athena) was born from Zeus's head. Second only to her father in the entire pantheon, she was the Goddess of Wisdom and was crowned the protectress of the city of Athens after giving the city the gift of the olive tree.
Pallas Athene was Zeus's favorite child and she, in return, was a dutiful daughter. She was very strong-willed. Although she always listened to her father's advice, she often acted on her own wisdom with great results.
The Goddess of Wisdom always preferred diplomacy to conflict when settling the affairs of state or conflicts between humans or gods. She did, however, lead warriors into battle when the necessity arose. She is often symbolized by the suit of armor she wore, a constant reminder that the Peaceful General was always prepared for a fight.

Athena
Athena is the daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armour from his forehead, thus has no mother. She is fierce and brave in battle but, only wars to defined the state and home from outside enemies. She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts, and agriculture. She invented the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute, the pot, the rake, the plow, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She is the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus's favorite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt. Her favorite city is Athens. Her tree is the olive. The owl is her bird. She is a virgin goddess.

Zeus slept around so much there's no way of knowing how many children he actually had. Therefore, it's practically impossible to pick a favorite when there's no way of knowing all the candidates. This sounds like a good topic for Jerry Springer.

Hercules, Uriel is another child of Zeus and so am I. Zeus' favorite was hercules because he was the oldest male. hercules was an overachiever. very smart funny outgoing guy. At least thats what my mind tells me.

According to what you read about the Olympian God, Athena would be the Most Favorite, Only her was ever allowed to hold his Most favorite and Important weapon which is the thunderbolt, then some say its Perseus specially being stressed in the movies and in the Television its Hercules.....But I have to side with Athena on this one...:)
