Zeus was a Goa'uld System Lord who appeared as a 50 year old male human with full gray hair and beard, preferring to wear the armor of his Jaffa warriors along with an Olympian tunic rather than the more cumbersome Jaffa armor which most other System Lords seem to prefer. Almost all of his First and Second Primes have been descended from his very own hosts and their children, as he believed that they came from a superior breeding stock to that of other beings; he even managed to rebuild this after his first defeat by Cronus. In addition, he was prone to cycle through the same names for his servants, often giving the name of a fallen soldier to the next promising son from his own lineage; through this, many of his servants have held the same name.
