Fun Fact:
In Disney's Hercules, we see Zeus get immobilized by the Titans attacking Olympus. But did you know that actually happened in ancient Greek myth? Only instead of being entombed in fire and ice like the movie shows, he endures something MUCH more painful.
When the Earth goddess Gaia sent her youngest and most monstrous son Typhon to slaughter the Olympians as punishment for their treatment of the Titans, literally all of the gods fled to Egypt in fear besides Zeus (and sometimes Athena). Left to defend his kingdom alone, Zeus fought as hard as he could against the brobdingnagian beast. But Typhon overpowered the king of Olympus and tore out his sinews, leaving him limp and nearly lifeless on the ground. It wasn't until the god Pan stole back Zeus's strength that he could fight again and ultimately defeat Typhon. After which, he chained the monster underneath Mount Etna where he was never heard from again.
...Although he was known to cause the occasional disturbance.
