Is this a genuine myth, and if so, could you please reference it as I can find absolutely no tales of Zeus as a lord of death and flies. When Zeus killed his father, he divied up the realms, giving death to his brother Hades. Prior to that time, he had no power.
Or are you refering to a gamer or other published fictional myth?

Zeus was not lord of death and flies in Greek myths. His brother Hades ruled the underworld where dead people resided. Thanatos was god of death. His brother Hypnos was god of sleep. Zeus was king of heaven and his weapon was the thunderbolt. The lord of the flies is the Devil in Hebrew myths.

I thought zeus was god of the gods and had control over lighting. Are you sure you aren't talking about Beelzebub?
Ba‘al Zebûb might mean 'Lord of Zebûb', referring to an unknown place called Zebûb, or 'Lord of things that fly' (zebûb being a Hebrew collective noun for 'fly', thus the common lay translation 'Lord of the Flies'.

The Erinyes, or Furies, didn't work for Zeus in any of his aspects, nor any of his counterpart male gods from earlier stages of pre-Olympianism (e.g., Poseidon). They were the defenders of mother-right, and they properly belong to the pre-Hellenic, early Mycenaean religion, which emphasized matiarchal goddesses. Their venomous characteristics were a result of the transition to masculine Olympianism, until their subsequent taming by Olympainism into the Eumenides, as Aeschylus makes plain...

The Furies in Greek mythos were goddesses who punished those who wrongly shed blood. They were known as The Angry Ones, They were later made the Soothed Ones. So simply to ward them, or those like them, don't shed unwarranted blood. They are spirits of justice, and their snake-wreathed faces represent the ugly side of Anger itself.
