Now that's the sort of thing I really enjoy in a comic about the gods. 
To my knowledge, you'd be the first to write something like that. 
Wonder Woman comics of the late 1980s had a good chance to deal with 
that, but I don't recall anything substantial.  And Thor came up with 
one issue with one villain called The Crusader.

Yep.  I don't recall ever faulting you for your portrayal of the gods.

Oooh, a challenge where we guess!  I'll guess...  Zeus comes down to be 
the champion himself!  He wants to be close to that mortal culture which 
he loves, and he craves adventure!  8{D>
