NOTE :
1) Using the spacebar to "light yourself up" does not seem to have a beneficial effect, but it is possible that it has to do with some specific timing event.
2) Collecting the clouds is the single greatest benefit, as at maximum the clouds can withstand hits even by all 6 white spheres. Most dangerous are the concentrated lightning bolts and head-butting attacks.
3) The approximate number of hits to defeat Zeus is in the range of 50 to 70, with his glowing ball attack beginning after about 20 hits.

How do you do the riddle: The red eye snake now holds your fate, catch her thrice to open the gate.?????
just keep trying with the lightning and clouds!
He is never seen again. A younger version of Zeus was seen in the ad-game for "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" (June-July, 2010).
You cannot do this on the island because Zeus never appears as a character, only in the animated sequences.
Zeus returns the sacred items to you for safekeeping, and then disappears. Athena awards you the Island Medallion and you can leave Olympus to travel to other islands. Zeus is not seen again. You also keep the Poseidon trident and Hades crown. If you wear the crown, pressing the spacebar makes you grow to giant size. This does not help on any islands, though.
As it turns out, nothing at all. You get the attention of Zeus, and he gives you a separate quest.
