This a little scheme of the possible links of Zeus myths with another mythologies:
 
HH = Hittite-Hurrite
Sum = Sumerian
IE = Indo European (including daughter-languages)
Sem = Semitic
 
 
1- Zeus x Kronos = HH Teshub x Kumarpish = Sem Baal x El-Dagon (?) = Hebraic Elohim x Jehovah (?)
 
2- Zeus x Prometheus = Sum Enlil x Enki = IE Indra x Agni (Thorr x Loki) = Hebraic Jehovah x Sathan-Nahash
 
3- Zeus x Typhon = Sem Ba'al x Mot (+ Ba'al x Yamm) = Sum Enlil x Tiamat = HH Teshub x Ullikummish and/or Illuyankash = IE Indra x Vrtra
 
4- Zeus x Gigantes = Sum Enlil x Kingu = HH Teshub x Ullikummish
 
5-Zeus and Athena = Sem Baal & Anat = HH Teshub & Shaushka = IE Indra & Trita (? cf. Tritogeneia)
 
6- Zeus-Poseidon-Hades = Sem Baal-Yam-Moth = IE Indra-Varuna-Mitra (???)
