Some say that God is a jealous God and the bible says that too, but the word comes from the Hebrew word qannah, which means possessing sensitive and deep feelings. God does have sensitive and deep feelings but is not covetous or envious which are some of the meanings of the word jealous. God does not want us to be covetous or envious of others and that is the traditional meaning for jealousy. As for Zeus he is a fictional character from mythology and since he is not real he cannot be for or against anything.

The God of the Judeo-Christian tradition may teach against jealousy (with one exception - God is jealous of his followers worshiping other "gods") the Greek God's were full of jealousy.

God does not like for you to be jealous of others and Zeus is a mythological being so he does not exist.

No, God IS jealous and uses Jealous as His name...
Check out Exodus 20:5, 34:14, and Deuteronomy 4:24.

How can a mythical person like zeus be against anything when he never existed, unlike God who has always existed.

Nope -- read the Ten Commandments. God tells Moses that he is a Jealous God.
