Trivia

 * Zeus was the first hero to be implemented in Dota 2.

 * As suggested by the game's files, Zeus's name was, at one time, Zuus. The possible reason is that "Zuus" is the correct pronunciation of his name "Zeus".


 * Zeus' alternate/fun name in DotA was "Merlini", a tribute to a professional DotA player.


 * Zeus' title in DotA was "Lord of Olympus".


 * is most likely a reference to the Sorceress' skill of the same name in Diablo II. In Diablo II, the spell also reduced enemies' HP by a percentage within a short radius.


 * Zeus' respawn line vo_zuus_zuus_respawn_07.mp3 "To err is human. To respawn, divine." is a reference to Alexander Pope, whose quote is "To err is human; to forgive, divine."


 * Zeus' rival line towards, vo_zuus_zuus_rival_03.mp3 "Keep in mind, Chen, godliness is next to deadliness." is a reference to an old and well-known saying "Cleanliness is next to godliness.".

 * When using, vo_zuus_zuus_bottle_02.mp3 "Nature abhors an empty bottle.", is a reference to the Plenism postulate attributed to Aristotle, which states that nature contains no vacuums because the denser surrounding material continuum would immediately fill the rarity of an incipient void – "Nature abhors a vacuum.".


 * Vo_zuus_zuus_kill_08.mp3 "Man proposes, God disposes.", is a reference to a painting by English artist Edwin Landseer with the same name, Man Proposes, God Disposes.
