The dam of Zeus, Reata Goddess, was sired by the Brunk bred Mango and out of Polly Forrest who was out of a Brunk mare and sired by a Saddlebred, Forest Whirlwind who was line bred to a common ancestor and had some grand Saddlebred ancestors. https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/forest+whirlwind
Zeus is an example of how the Morgan lines, which were strong ones, predominated. 

Zeus had some notable get--
--Aristo Carita had foals for Mortana Morgans in Montana; some of those bred on. 
--various Cairnebrae prefix horses who bred on some
--HVK Dark Treasure who produced for Crestfield prefix
--various Kendalwood prefix horses including Kendalwood Ceo who sired for various people
--Merriehill Chicagoan (listed 3 times on AllBreed, twice with stupid mis-spellings. This is the correct one.) https://beta.allbreedpedigree.com/merriehill-chicagoan-MEKQBaAg/pedigree
He sired 83 get, many of which have bred on.
