Zeus is the all-father god figure, but I dont think he's the Thunder God. I think who is more equal to him in power should be someone like Odin. So Thor Vs Zeus? Zeus wins. He uses lightning spears.

Answer 4

In a fight? Thor. In a contest to see who could get the most @ss, Zeus. But that's only because Thor doesn't get out and try to pick up chicks as much.

Answer 5

First of all, this is a Supreme God-Emperor against a warrior God-Prince. In Hesiod's version of the Titanomachy, Zeus unleashes his full power against the Titans and all who witness his supreme wrath are blinded. The Titans, the Gods, their Allies, Gaea, and even Chaos itself (the void from which all emerged) reeled back in helplessness.

"Then Zeus no longer held back his might; but straight his heart was filled with fury and he showed forth all his strength. From Heaven and from Olympos he came forthwith, hurling his lightning: the bold flew thick and fast from his strong hand together with thunder and lightning, whirling an awesome flame. The life-giving earth crashed around in burning, and the vast wood crackled loud with fire all about. All the land seethed, and Okeanos' streams and the unfruitful sea. The hot vapour lapped round the Titenes Khthonios (Earthly): flame unspeakable rose to the bright upper air (aither): the flashing glare of the thunder-stone and lightning blinded their eyes for all that there were strong. Astounding heat seized air (khaos): and to see with eyes and to hear the sound with ears it seemed even as if Earth (Gaia) and wide Heaven (Ouranos) above came together; for such a mighty crash would have arisen if Earth (Gaia) were being hurled to ruin, and Heaven (Ouranos) from on high were hurling her down; so great a crash was there while the gods were meeting together in strife. Also the winds brought rumbling earthquake and duststorm, thunder and lightning and the lurid thunderbolt, which are the shafts of great Zeus, and carried the clangour and the warcry into the midst of the two hosts. An horrible uproar of terrible strife arose: mighty deeds were shown and the battle inclined. But until then, they kept at one another and fought continually in cruel war."

Zeus claims that he possesses strength such that he is the strongest of the immortals. He claims that if there were a cord of gold, even all the other gods and goddesses cannot drag Zeus down, whereas Zeus could easily drag them all as well as the earth (Gaia) and sky (Ouranos) and then allow them to dangle in mid-air again.

Consciousness of his omnipotence is admirably illustrated in the famous scene in the Iliad (8.17 ff.) in which Zeus makes this challenge to the Olympians: "Then [you] will see how far I am strongest of all the immortals. Come, you gods, make this endeavor, that you all may learn this. Let down out of the sky a cord of gold; lay hold of it all you who are gods and all who are goddesses, yet not even so can you drag down Zeus from the sky to the ground, not Zeus the high lord of counsel, though you try until you grow weary. Yet whenever I might strongly be minded to pull you, I could drag you up, earth and all and sea and all with you, then fetch the golden rope about the horn of Olympos and make it fast, so that all once more should dangle in mid air. So much stronger am I than the gods, and stronger than mortals" (trans. Richmond Lattimore, The Iliad of Homer [Chicago, 1951]).

Thor was defeated by Old Age and Weight during his stay at Utgard, city of the Giants of Jotunheim.

This is a clear cut victory for Zeus, Father and Ruler of Gods and Men and Supreme God of the Universe.

Answer 6

Zeus.
Zeus uses lightning as spears while Thor uses a Hammer.
Zeus could throw one of these spears from far away while Thor has to come closer. Thor could have been dead by then.

Leonidas would win.
