    First of all Zeus has no mother. In this sense he is like Athene because she was born from his forehead and has no mother either. She is the godess of wisdom and on many ocassions Zeus is sought for advice on the same matter. Both are corageous and wise. Zeus seems to have this ability to procreate and Athene is also godd at giving birth to inventions useful for men. Also they are the older gods together with Dionysious. She acts on her own initiative without asking Zeus and the god, in turn acts according to his will without asking any other. Both usually work together and are the most powerful of the gods.

    The correct answer is:

    Both are interested in human affairs.

    Explanation:

    In The Illiad of Homer, as well as in Greek Mythology, Zeus is the most powerful God, he is the King of Gods, and although he tries not to interfere in human battles, he finds himself constantly interfering. He acts as a moderator because he secretly sides with the Trojans, while the other Gods side with the Achaeans.

    Athena is the daughter of Zeus, and the Goddess of Wisdom; she hates the Trojans and constantly interferes on the Trojan Wars. She offers the Achaeans aid, she acts as a counselor and supports them, people pray to her and asks her for wisdom. Athena is seen as a manipulator during the Trojan Wars. Even though Zeus demands the Gods not to interfere in human affairs, Athena and him are constantly interfering.
