At the risk of offending most of the people tuning in on this post - because I think a lot of people reading this might tie into the South European pantheon of gods than to the Scandinavian - I will reply to a couple of responses i just got to an earlier post I made in regards to Zeus and Odin, who I thought would win in a fight. I said I thought Odin would win, and I got someone to remind me that Odin was prophesied to die, and Zeus would not. The other said that Zeus had Medusa's head carved into a shield, or something, and would turn Odin to stone.😅😅😅 My opinion is that if we went strictly by mythology, Odin and Zeus are not even close. Odin is way ahead. Zeus is more comparable to Thor. And it is publications like Marvel comics that scale Thor's powers down, so the character might be more relatable and interesting. Thor is also a sky god, only slightly weaker than his father, Odin. Here are a few points I would like to make in explanation: - 1. We all agree that neither one of these two gods (Odin and Zeus) is the progenitor of their pantheons, right? There were other, older gods that began their pantheons. And these younger gods came later and took over. 2. At that point of taking over, in my opinion, I would place them all at par with one another. I don't want to go into who had a tougher fight defeating their father, or their ancestral deity. A very good case could be made either way, and in the absence of further evidence to the contrary, I would say that Zeus and Odin were equal in power right after the Titanomachy. I mean, to become the rulers of their respective pantheons, Zeus with eleven brothers and sisters, together with the Hecatoncheires and the Psyclopes defeated the Titans. Odin with his two brothers, Villi and Ve defeated Ymir, the ancestral deity (like Uranus) responsible for the races, giants and dwarves. I would put both achievements at par with one another, unless again there is evidence, not supposition, to the contrary. 3. Shortly after that Odin, Villi and Ve created the human race. And soon after that, the prophesy of Ragnarok was made known to the brothers. Knowing that they lacked sufficient power to prevent Ragnarok from happening, the brothers Villi and Ve decided to sacrifice themselves and put their powers into Odin, so that Odin would be strong enough to avert the disaster. Now if the saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" holds true in this case, then I would submit that at that point that Odin became more than 3 time more powerful than he previously was. He became more powerful than the addition of his power, Villi's power and Ve's power. I would put his power level at the very least 4 (Four) times what it previously was. That also means four times what Zeus, who has not gotten any power boost, has. 4. Shortly after that, Odin, who is now four times more powerful than he previously was goes on a quest in search of answers to what he might do to avert Ragnarok. He travels the nine realms and soon comes upon the well of Ymir. It is revealed to him that he needs to make a major sacrifice to get his answers. So he plucks out an eye, throws it into the well, and water gushes out. He drinks of the water and knows that he needs to be near the point of death for the answers he seeks to come to him. So he hands himself on Yggdrasil, the tree of life, and stays hung for nine days. When he was at the very point of death, the secret of the runes was revealed to him. He is now a master of deciphering the runes. That, in my opinion represents another significant power boost. So he is now at least ten times more powerful than he previously was. Which is also ten times Zeus' power level, if you have been following me so far. 5. It was also revealed to Odin that if he wants to avert the disaster of Ragnarok, he needs to have a son that will surpass him. A protector of the gods and of man. Odin, a god of the skies, makes contact with Gaia, the embodiment of the earth, and together they bring forth Thor. The protector of gods and man. Let me also point out that Gaia is the mother of Kronos, Zeus' father. So, through Gaia, Zeus might actually address Thor as, 'Uncle!' 6. So, Odin, at ten times Zeus' power level has a son with the earth goddess. Can you have a more divine birth than that? But it didn't end there. Loki plays a trick and cuts off Thor's wife's hair. Thor threatens to kill Loki, Loki in trying to save his skin promises to replace the hair. In his attempt to do so, he makes contact with two dwarven families, craftsmen of surpassing skill both. And gets them to compete with one another in making wondrous things including a replacement for Thor's wife's hair. To make a very long story short, the result of the competition also produced Mjolnir, an incredibly powerful hammer so heavy that only Thor could lift it. And Gungnir, a heavenly spear. A symbol of Odin's supreme authority. Gungnir is said to possess many properties, most notably of which is the fact that when thrown, it never misses its target, it can pierce through anything (that means it can pierce through Zeus) and any oath sworn on the spear is unbreakable. In my opinion, that is yet another power boost in Odin's favor. 7. The fact that the Asgardian gods are prophesied to die at Ragnarok is the very reason why Odin did the things he did, and took his power to a ridiculous level. The prophesied death of the Asgardian gods at Ragnarok is not a testament to their inferiority or weakness. It is testament to just how horrendous Ragnarok is. Odin can tap Gungnir on the ground a speak an oath that will render every single weapon in Zeus' possession ineffective, including the aegis. You speak of Medusa's shield? Odin can render the aegis itself powerless. If any one should know how to do that, that person is Odin. 8. Zeus is more comparable to Thor. Marvel comics is the one scaling Thor's power down, making him more relatable, and putting Zeus ahead of him. In spite of all that, Odin is still too far ahead for me to realistically compare Zeus to Odin.

In the middle of all that planning.. Zeus with the eye of the eagle will sense disturbance.. and appear infront of odin in a lightning bolt.. literally lifting the ground odins standing on. Fully powered you are absolutely misguided if you think odin is winning a 1 on 1 with the God of the Sky
You clowns are under estimating Zeus’ profound leadership and brains. In power he towers over odin.. yes odin is more of a god of schemes.. but at the same time so is hades.. these tricks do not work on a god with his amount of incomparable power and knowledge.
You do not know the Power of the all father…people think of his meticulous planning and know very little about his fighting prowess. He has insane fighting power and has immense leadership always planning for the futureZ
@@HaviBorson i know alot about norse mythology.. tou are going by biased opinion. When it is clearly stated the norse gods know of the greek gods and the norse gods have witnessed power in zeus unrivaled and never seen before. Zeus ohysicslly is on another planet than odin its not close and he will not be tricked by odin as its been clearly stated zeus has never fallen to a single trick or scheme ever. You need to do rour research its cool ti be odin fan they sre both historic gods but zeus is in a class of his own.
@@nanapotter3461 its been told zeus moves si fast even the future csnt predict his movementd.. he moves so fast heimdall wouldnt even be sble to depict the forward thinking picture hes shown of what zeus will do next,, you have no idea the magnitude of zeus physical power.
Impressive feats of monster slaying aside. The biggest factor in all of this is that Greek Gods cannot die. Norse Gods can. Odin is undoubtable wiser than Zeus and may have some crafty tactics, though at best he can slow him down and at best restrain him for eternity.
Zeus not being able to die doesnt mean he cant be defeated. I would argue there are some things worse than death. Lets say Odin managed to beat him, then cut his head off with Gungnir and mounted it on his wall as a conversation piece for all of eternity. I am betting Zeus would wish he was dead.
That is debatable and there are several things that contradict that. Example when balder died he came back from the dead. Odin himself came back after being stabbed, and hanged by his own spear more powerful than before. The final thing is who’s to say Odin can’t strip zues immortality away. Odin is a god of death, and sorcery. His wife for example made balder impervious to all harm, so why can’t Odin do stuff like that. One last thing while zues does have a undying body he can’t heal properly. This is shown when he losses to a monster and his tendons are ripped out. He is only healed after he has help from his family. All Odin has to do is pull of a successful crippling injury or slice off his head.
@@robertrainford6754you missed the point that Greek Gods supposedly have divine forms, as shown when he showed it to Dionysus’ mother when she was pregnant, the mere sight of his divine form is so much, mortals die by just looking at it, and Zeus isn’t that dumb either, yes most if not all gods go for the council of Athena, but Zeus is impossible to trick, and like Odin, he is omniscient/All-Seeing and Zeus is even stated more than once to also be omnipresent, trickery is not an advantage to neither side, especially to Odin who is the much smarter one. Odin has his runes which he has few that can counter Zeus’ Master Bolt as it is a weapon, and 2 of Odin’s runes involves, near invulnerability to weapons, able to manipulate thrown weapons. But Odin’s magic isn’t a huge advantage against Zeus either. Now question is, is Zeus capable of taking away Odin’s magic and powers? He already did more than once to Apollo and once to Poseidon, can he do that to Odin? His magic definitely not but his powers, not sure either
@@robertrainford6754 Because even in your imagination that it is Odin doesnt have the juice to strip anything from Zeus. The wank that goes on for Odin is funny especially because its mostly from zelous marvel fans. Odin gets bodied and fast. The greeks come in and obliterate. It is just funny to see the reaching needed which is funny since it shows that Zeus being more powerful is a fact and Odin would have to try things (that wouldnt work) to try to win. No the Norse are not binding,sealing,or restraining Zeus let alone Odin himself.
Hecate was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. She was the only child of the TITANES Perses and Asteria from whom she received her power over heaven, earth, and sea. Zeus has NO say in her power.. just like Nyx.
I think you underestimate just how powerful Odin actually is. He slew Ymir, the first and biggest frost giant. Ymir was so large that when Odin slew him, his body became Midgard in Norse mythology. We can assume that Ymir was about the size of all of Scandinavia in that case. Sounds to me like Odin was no slouch.
Nah sounds like your bias with liking Odin and do not want to accept the people here are even being nice to him. Honestly i think saying slight edge to zeus is being nice to Odin.
Should add the mention that giants in nordic myth arent just big dudes, in fact for most of them it isnt even really the case... They, however, are beings with powers on par with the norse gods themselves, hence why they are enemies on an almost equal footing. So that giant the size of scandinavia was probably way nastier than size alone would suggest
both of them are almost the same god of the indoeuropeans, except that the germanic people partition the main god into Odin and Thor, so Zeus = Odin + Thor.
@@aranha6285 Yeah. Fenrir on his own is an apocalyptic threat at LEAST on the level of the greek titans, with the difference he eventually manages to break free of his prison due to the little quirk that he just grows stronger day after day without stop and without anything able to prevent this. And then you realise he may not even be the worst thing showing up at ragnarok...
I find it interesting that you seem to prioritize brawn over brains. Zeus with the brawn and Odin with the brains. I love Zeus. His powers are way up there. On a scale of one to ten, I think I'll give Zeus a perfect ten. But I would also place Odin on that same level. But more than Zeus, Odin has many more ways to win in a fight of that magnitude. Zeus has his aegis (lightning), but that seems to be all he needs to be the most powerful god in the Greek pantheon. Odin, on the other hand, has runic magic, a spear that can penetrate anything, and any oath sworn on the spear is unbreakable. Also, might I mention that he is a god of war? Which means, when it comes to combat standards, I think Odin also has what it takes to outfight Zeus. The fact that the Norse mythology has Ragnarok and the Greek mythology does not have a comparable event that will bring about the death of the old gods is not indicative of Odin's weakness. It simply underscores how devastating the end-times for the Norsemen was prophesied to be.
zeus destroy odin so easy : Zeus's thunderbolts can create a fire so intense that it would melt Heaven, Earth, and Sea and destroy the Universe: [253] And now his thunder bolts would Jove wide scatter, but he feared the flames, unnumbered, sacred ether might ignite and burn the axle of the universe: and he remembered in the scroll of fate, there is a time appointed when the sea and earth and Heavens shall melt, and fire destroy the universe of mighty labour wrought. Such weapons by the skill of Cyclops forged, for different punishment he laid aside-for straightway he preferred to overwhelm the mortal race beneath deep waves and storms from every raining sky. -Source: Ovid, Metamorphoses Book 1 (trans. More) Zeus’s thunderbolt kills a God: "And the father of men and gods [Zeus] was wrath, and from Olympos he smote the son of Leto [Asklepios] with a lurid thunderbolt and killed him, arousing the anger of Phoibos [Apollon]." -Source: Hesiod, Catalogues of Women Fragment 90 (trans. Evelyn-White) Zeus reins down fire from Heaven causing widespread destruction of the primordials: "On the presumptuous Titanes once in wrath he [Zeus] poured down fire from heaven: then burned all earth beneath, and Okeanos' world-engirdling flood boiled from its depths, yea, to its utmost bounds: far-flowing mighty rivers were dried up: perished all broods of life-sustaining earth, all fosterlings of the boundless sea, and all dwellers in rivers: smoke and ashes veiled the air: earth fainted in the fervent heat." -Source: Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 8. 460 ff Zeus shaking his head shakes the universe: "When all were plac'd, in seats distinctly known, And he, their father, had assum'd the throne, Upon his iv'ry sceptre first he leant, Then shook his head, that shook the firmament: Air, Earth, and seas, obey'd th' almighty nod; And, with a gen'ral fear, confess'd the God. At length, with indignation, thus he broke His awful silence, and the Pow'rs bespoke." -Source: Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book 1 Zeus in Orphic mythology he is omnipotent.......and he absolutely easily defeated the typhon without any trouble..he literally sent it down, with a lightning bolt he sent it to the Tartarus in the theogony which is the first source of greek mythology....the fact that the typhon defeated Zeus in the first round is from later sources Zeus strikes down Typhon with his thunderbolts and casts him into Tartarus: ... a monstrous being, Typhon, son of Gaea and Tartarus, rises against Zeus: "From his shoulders came a hundred snake heads, frightful dragons, thrusting out blackish tongues; and from his eyes.... flared a light like fire," etc. (Theog. 824 ff.).

@@aranha6285 his fate is simply to die then, because then he will face a creature so powerful... if he faced a creature like Zeus, he would have been annihilated from existence....... However, Zeus is absolutely immortal, he cannot dies...................and no Odin never had the power to destroy even a galaxy let alone the universe...he didn't even create the realms with his own power but with the power of ymir who was killed in his sleep along with his 2 brothers by Odin.......probably you should re-read the Illiad, because NO, the gods don't have blood, they have a gold (have you gone elsewhere it has a different color) liquid called Ichor...in the sun you read from Venus ichor fell, then Homer mentions her skin turned black from the wound, it's not exactly blood, but if you want you can call it blood I guess, though no, this was not blood like humans have, i.e. ... despite this, if someone other than the gods comes into contact with him, he will die, we know this because a mortal died by coming into contact with him... you can burn them to ashes, cut off every part of their body and once again they won't bleed and again they won't die, don't get things out of your mind.. they literally had everything cut off by zeus and when he didn't bleed just wait until they come to get him free...... ..odin is no where near zeus and when will it be no lack of accomplishments, killing a powerful being like ymir is a feat but he was killed by 3 people in his SLEEP...and after his own organs and body parts of ymir, they also created the other realms - (because then there were only 2) - they did not create them with their own power
@@aranha6285 and let's not forget that the real forms of the gods are never seen....they use their own bodies to come down to Earth, we know from the mythology of Zeus, any mortal who sees the true form of a god is instant death because they cannot endure!
@@Necrum_ Ymir was not killed in his Sleep. That’s just BS written in the Christian Edda. He was killed in Battle as shown in the Rune Stones of Germany. And before dying he killed Vili and Ve. And no Odin faced in total 3 beings FAR more powerful than Zeus. First was Ymir. Later the Balor of the Evil Eye and lastly Fenrir. Balor was a three-eyed Giant who was described to be incomprehensible Big that he destroyed Stars while moving around like a men Destroys Snowflakes in Snowfall. His Third Eye was said to destroy everything in its sight and to have destroyed entire Worlds in Midgard just by looking at them. And lastly Fenrir. The World Devourer. The Wolf whose Hunger is insatiable and who ate entire Timelines and Worlds
@@Necrum_ WOW you really are a Liar. The Greek Gods have blood. It’s called Ichor and they CAN die. Pan, Uranos, Kronos, Metis all died. Even Zeus was scared of dying the whole Greek Mythology and does whatever he can to avoid it
The video was nice, but odin also killed ymir and created earth and realms from his body. Also bodied the giant race. He was also a god of war. Didn't zeus get bodied by typhon? He had help from hermes. Also the cyclops were the ones making the thunderbolts. For me odin can win since he can counter zeus with his IQ, Hax, Sorcery. He literally gave lightning to thor 😂. Athena was the IQ and she was the one plotting the battles, while odin can just do this himself. For the immortality argument, immortality means you can live forever not that you can't be killed. But even so sealing and magic exist.
No thats not what immortality means for the greek gods. They were functionally and fully immortal meaning can not be killed. Sealing? Get your head out of a comic book and the Norse who are fated to end dont have the juice to seal Zeus. Not to even mention the enemies Zeus fought were greater and quite frankly it is stated Zeus power was greate trhen the rest of his pantheon combined. Odin gets bodied.
@@mato2047 in your dreams, immortality means they live forever only baldur was unkillable and that is because he was cursed, yet for someone unkillable like zeus he got bodied by typhon lmao. Odin literally have counters to zeus. Saying they faced bigger enemies is subjective.

The question is redundant as both Odin and Zeus are the same just different aspects of the Universal Sky father
@@shirosatsuma4946 there is no real way to believe in the gods and just because a book saids it dose not mean crap no idea the Bible is fake man made and yet people believe it Odin is universal and that's the way I believe
Odin is soft he doesn't really like to go out in battle as much , just like ther narrator said he tend to have his son thor do his durty work for him and still says he's not God material. Zues would win. Bit zues vs thorwill be tough although zues is more experienced. I think thor might be just a bit more powerful
Odins cunning, wisdom and magic alone is enough to best Zeus. Zeus couldn't touch him... The Olympians were mortal to human understanding of them but explain how many were slain? Or even disposed of. Odin would make short work of Zeus! Wisdom is power as they say and Zeus would bow before the magic of the runes.
Zeus is smart too. He planned the whole illiad and swallowed his first wife metis (titanesse of cunning and wisdom). This made him able to see the future and gave him a lot of wisdom
Zeus is basically Odin and Thor COMBINED and that would be a closer battle to the Lord of Olympus

In the middle of all that planning.. Zeus with the eye of the eagle will sense disturbance.. and appear infront of odin in a lightning bolt.. literally lifting the ground odins standing on. Fully powered you are absolutely misguided if you think odin is winning a 1 on 1 with the God of the Sky
Odin is Apollo from greeks and Horus from egyptians...so answer is that both Zeus (Thor) and Odin (Apollo/Horus) are powerful, father and son...
Yep, facts 👍
Actually he's Hermes. And Thoth is the Egyptian counterpart.
You clowns are under estimating Zeus’ profound leadership and brains. In power he towers over odin.. yes odin is more of a god of schemes.. but at the same time so is hades.. these tricks do not work on a god with his amount of incomparable power and knowledge.
You clearly know NOTHING about Odin’s power do you? Odin VASTLY outscales Zeus
yeah these guys are so delulu with odin lmao zeus literally 1 shots odin
You do not know the Power of the all father…people think of his meticulous planning and know very little about his fighting prowess. He has insane fighting power and has immense leadership always planning for the futureZ
@@HaviBorson i know alot about norse mythology.. tou are going by biased opinion. When it is clearly stated the norse gods know of the greek gods and the norse gods have witnessed power in zeus unrivaled and never seen before.
Zeus ohysicslly is on another planet than odin its not close and he will not be tricked by odin as its been clearly stated zeus has never fallen to a single trick or scheme ever.
You need to do rour research its cool ti be odin fan they sre both historic gods but zeus is in a class of his own.
@@nanapotter3461 its been told zeus moves si fast even the future csnt predict his movementd.. he moves so fast heimdall wouldnt even be sble to depict the forward thinking picture hes shown of what zeus will do next,, you have no idea the magnitude of zeus physical power.
Impressive feats of monster slaying aside. The biggest factor in all of this is that Greek Gods cannot die. Norse Gods can.
Odin is undoubtable wiser than Zeus and may have some crafty tactics, though at best he can slow him down and at best restrain him for eternity.
Zeus not being able to die doesnt mean he cant be defeated. I would argue there are some things worse than death. Lets say Odin managed to beat him, then cut his head off with Gungnir and mounted it on his wall as a conversation piece for all of eternity. I am betting Zeus would wish he was dead.
That is debatable and there are several things that contradict that. Example when balder died he came back from the dead. Odin himself came back after being stabbed, and hanged by his own spear more powerful than before. The final thing is who’s to say Odin can’t strip zues immortality away. Odin is a god of death, and sorcery. His wife for example made balder impervious to all harm, so why can’t Odin do stuff like that. One last thing while zues does have a undying body he can’t heal properly. This is shown when he losses to a monster and his tendons are ripped out. He is only healed after he has help from his family. All Odin has to do is pull of a successful crippling injury or slice off his head.
@@robertrainford6754you missed the point that Greek Gods supposedly have divine forms, as shown when he showed it to Dionysus’ mother when she was pregnant, the mere sight of his divine form is so much, mortals die by just looking at it, and Zeus isn’t that dumb either, yes most if not all gods go for the council of Athena, but Zeus is impossible to trick, and like Odin, he is omniscient/All-Seeing and Zeus is even stated more than once to also be omnipresent, trickery is not an advantage to neither side, especially to Odin who is the much smarter one.
Odin has his runes which he has few that can counter Zeus’ Master Bolt as it is a weapon, and 2 of Odin’s runes involves, near invulnerability to weapons, able to manipulate thrown weapons. But Odin’s magic isn’t a huge advantage against Zeus either.
Now question is, is Zeus capable of taking away Odin’s magic and powers? He already did more than once to Apollo and once to Poseidon, can he do that to Odin? His magic definitely not but his powers, not sure either
@@robertrainford6754 Because even in your imagination that it is Odin doesnt have the juice to strip anything from Zeus. The wank that goes on for Odin is funny especially because its mostly from zelous marvel fans. Odin gets bodied and fast. The greeks come in and obliterate. It is just funny to see the reaching needed which is funny since it shows that Zeus being more powerful is a fact and Odin would have to try things (that wouldnt work) to try to win. No the Norse are not binding,sealing,or restraining Zeus let alone Odin himself.
Hecate was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. She was the only child of the TITANES Perses and Asteria from whom she received her power over heaven, earth, and sea.
Zeus has NO say in her power.. just like Nyx.
I think you underestimate just how powerful Odin actually is. He slew Ymir, the first and biggest frost giant. Ymir was so large that when Odin slew him, his body became Midgard in Norse mythology. We can assume that Ymir was about the size of all of Scandinavia in that case. Sounds to me like Odin was no slouch.
that's nothing tho
yet died to a fucking dog?
Nah sounds like your bias with liking Odin and do not want to accept the people here are even being nice to him. Honestly i think saying slight edge to zeus is being nice to Odin.
Should add the mention that giants in nordic myth arent just big dudes, in fact for most of them it isnt even really the case... They, however, are beings with powers on par with the norse gods themselves, hence why they are enemies on an almost equal footing.
So that giant the size of scandinavia was probably way nastier than size alone would suggest
both of them are almost the same god of the indoeuropeans, except that the germanic people partition the main god into Odin and Thor, so Zeus = Odin + Thor.
Odin.just saying
Haha why do you think so?
gets wrekt just saying.
Odin was not immortal he died
Odin can die zues can't
@@jacobmays3588Only at Ragnarok
Finish Him!!!
Zeus Wins!!
Zeus would stomp Odin, and the entire Norse pantheon
Odin would just throw Fenrir at them and watch him EAT the entire Greek Pantheon
@@aranha6285 Yeah. Fenrir on his own is an apocalyptic threat at LEAST on the level of the greek titans, with the difference he eventually manages to break free of his prison due to the little quirk that he just grows stronger day after day without stop and without anything able to prevent this. And then you realise he may not even be the worst thing showing up at ragnarok...
HAIL TO THE ALL FATHER. !!!! 💪
Odin gives thor lightning to play with lol
I find it interesting that you seem to prioritize brawn over brains. Zeus with the brawn and Odin with the brains. I love Zeus. His powers are way up there. On a scale of one to ten, I think I'll give Zeus a perfect ten. But I would also place Odin on that same level. But more than Zeus, Odin has many more ways to win in a fight of that magnitude. Zeus has his aegis (lightning), but that seems to be all he needs to be the most powerful god in the Greek pantheon. Odin, on the other hand, has runic magic, a spear that can penetrate anything, and any oath sworn on the spear is unbreakable. Also, might I mention that he is a god of war? Which means, when it comes to combat standards, I think Odin also has what it takes to outfight Zeus. The fact that the Norse mythology has Ragnarok and the Greek mythology does not have a comparable event that will bring about the death of the old gods is not indicative of Odin's weakness. It simply underscores how devastating the end-times for the Norsemen was prophesied to be.

He would get crushed

@@Ray-pm1jy Yeah Odin>>>>>>>>Zeus
Odin kidnapped Hera and made Zeus surrender
zeus destroy odin so easy :
Zeus's thunderbolts can create a fire so intense that it would melt Heaven, Earth, and Sea and destroy the Universe:
[253] And now his thunder bolts would Jove wide scatter, but he feared the flames, unnumbered, sacred ether might ignite and burn the axle of the universe: and he remembered in the scroll of fate, there is a time appointed when the sea and earth and Heavens shall melt, and fire destroy the universe of mighty labour wrought. Such weapons by the skill of Cyclops forged, for different punishment he laid aside-for straightway he preferred to overwhelm the mortal race beneath deep waves and storms from every raining sky.
-Source: Ovid, Metamorphoses Book 1 (trans. More)
Zeus’s thunderbolt kills a God:
"And the father of men and gods [Zeus] was wrath, and from Olympos he smote the son of Leto [Asklepios] with a lurid thunderbolt and killed him, arousing the anger of Phoibos [Apollon]."
-Source: Hesiod, Catalogues of Women Fragment 90 (trans. Evelyn-White)
Zeus reins down fire from Heaven causing widespread destruction of the primordials:
"On the presumptuous Titanes once in wrath he [Zeus] poured down fire from heaven: then burned all earth beneath, and Okeanos' world-engirdling flood boiled from its depths, yea, to its utmost bounds: far-flowing mighty rivers were dried up: perished all broods of life-sustaining earth, all fosterlings of the boundless sea, and all dwellers in rivers: smoke and ashes veiled the air: earth fainted in the fervent heat."
-Source: Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 8. 460 ff
Zeus shaking his head shakes the universe:
"When all were plac'd, in seats distinctly known,
And he, their father, had assum'd the throne,
Upon his iv'ry sceptre first he leant,
Then shook his head, that shook the firmament:
Air, Earth, and seas, obey'd th' almighty nod;
And, with a gen'ral fear, confess'd the God.
At length, with indignation, thus he broke His awful silence, and the Pow'rs bespoke."
-Source: Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book 1
Zeus in Orphic mythology he is omnipotent.......and he absolutely easily defeated the typhon without any trouble..he literally sent it down, with a lightning bolt he sent it to the Tartarus in the theogony which is the first source of greek mythology....the fact that the typhon defeated Zeus in the first round is from later sources
Zeus strikes down Typhon with his thunderbolts and casts him into Tartarus:
... a monstrous being, Typhon, son of Gaea and Tartarus, rises against Zeus: "From his shoulders came a hundred snake heads, frightful dragons, thrusting out blackish tongues; and from his eyes.... flared a light like fire," etc. (Theog. 824 ff.). Zeus struck him with this thunderbolts and cast him down into Tartarus.

and btw zeus is immortal....he didn't become immortal, he was always immortal and will forever be immortal.....the Olympian gods don't even have blood.......odin is not even immortal.....and can die!
Impressive!!! Odin literally almost destroyed an Entire MULTIVERSE by speaking.
And Odin is immortal. He can only die at Ragnarok which will only happen WHEN and IF he WANTS it to happen.
Plus you are liar the Olympians have blood. They literally bleed in the Ilad
@@aranha6285 his fate is simply to die then, because then he will face a creature so powerful... if he faced a creature like Zeus, he would have been annihilated from existence....... However, Zeus is absolutely immortal, he cannot dies...................and no Odin never had the power to destroy even a galaxy let alone the universe...he didn't even create the realms with his own power but with the power of ymir who was killed in his sleep along with his 2 brothers by Odin.......probably you should re-read the Illiad, because NO, the gods don't have blood, they have a gold (have you gone elsewhere it has a different color) liquid called Ichor...in the sun you read from Venus ichor fell, then Homer mentions her skin turned black from the wound, it's not exactly blood, but if you want you can call it blood I guess, though no, this was not blood like humans have, i.e. ... despite this, if someone other than the gods comes into contact with him, he will die, we know this because a mortal died by coming into contact with him... you can burn them to ashes, cut off every part of their body and once again they won't bleed and again they won't die, don't get things out of your mind.. they literally had everything cut off by zeus and when he didn't bleed just wait until they come to get him free...... ..odin is no where near zeus and when will it be no lack of accomplishments, killing a powerful being like ymir is a feat but he was killed by 3 people in his SLEEP...and after his own organs and body parts of ymir, they also created the other realms - (because then there were only 2) - they did not create them with their own power
@@aranha6285 and let's not forget that the real forms of the gods are never seen....they use their own bodies to come down to Earth, we know from the mythology of Zeus, any mortal who sees the true form of a god is instant death because they cannot endure!
@@Necrum_ Ymir was not killed in his Sleep. That’s just BS written in the Christian Edda. He was killed in Battle as shown in the Rune Stones of Germany. And before dying he killed Vili and Ve.
And no Odin faced in total 3 beings FAR more powerful than Zeus. First was Ymir. Later the Balor of the Evil Eye and lastly Fenrir. Balor was a three-eyed Giant who was described to be incomprehensible Big that he destroyed Stars while moving around like a men Destroys Snowflakes in Snowfall. His Third Eye was said to destroy everything in its sight and to have destroyed entire Worlds in Midgard just by looking at them.
And lastly Fenrir. The World Devourer. The Wolf whose Hunger is insatiable and who ate entire Timelines and Worlds
@@Necrum_ WOW you really are a Liar. The Greek Gods have blood. It’s called Ichor and they CAN die. Pan, Uranos, Kronos, Metis all died. Even Zeus was scared of dying the whole Greek Mythology and does whatever he can to avoid it
The video was nice, but odin also killed ymir and created earth and realms from his body.
Also bodied the giant race.
He was also a god of war.
Didn't zeus get bodied by typhon? He had help from hermes. Also the cyclops were the ones making the thunderbolts.
For me odin can win since he can counter zeus with his IQ, Hax, Sorcery. He literally gave lightning to thor 😂. Athena was the IQ and she was the one plotting the battles, while odin can just do this himself.
For the immortality argument, immortality means you can live forever not that you can't be killed. But even so sealing and magic exist.
No thats not what immortality means for the greek gods. They were functionally and fully immortal meaning can not be killed. Sealing? Get your head out of a comic book and the Norse who are fated to end dont have the juice to seal Zeus. Not to even mention the enemies Zeus fought were greater and quite frankly it is stated Zeus power was greate trhen the rest of his pantheon combined. Odin gets bodied.
@@mato2047 in your dreams, immortality means they live forever only baldur was unkillable and that is because he was cursed, yet for someone unkillable like zeus he got bodied by typhon lmao.

Saying they faced bigger enemies is subjective.

Zues would win. Bit zues vs thorwill be tough although zues is more experienced. I think thor might be just a bit more powerful
Odin most powerful of all
Zeus is ZU THE BAT, THE DEATH BAT HE WINS!!! LOOK UP!!
Try again, not even close odin, would destroy zeus
Odins cunning, wisdom and magic alone is enough to best Zeus.
Zeus couldn't touch him...
The Olympians were mortal to human understanding of them but explain how many were slain?
Or even disposed of.
Odin would make short work of Zeus! Wisdom is power as they say and Zeus would bow before the magic of the runes.
Zeus is smart too. He planned the whole illiad and swallowed his first wife metis (titanesse of cunning and wisdom). This made him able to see the future and gave him a lot of wisdom
Odin died zues can't
Zeus je more Powerfull but Thor can chalange him
