A minor detail, but it's interesting how Glaukos mentions Zeus is a man who will not stand by his children mere pages after Zeus "wept tears of blood" for his fallen son. Although he wanted to mobilize and save his son, his hands were tied as the head of all the gods and out of mercy for his son, and yet none of that backstory is known to the soldiers down below who continue to see Zeus as a ruthless, uncaring god and father. If the soldiers had more insight into the thoughts and motivations of not just Zeus, but all the gods in regard to the war, would they still be fighting it? As in, if all of the petty grudges and the thought processes of each god as they meddle in the war were publicly known to all of the soldiers, how early in the war would the breaking point, if any, have been?
