Being a Classics student, this is quite interesting: Zeus must have felt that his chances of getting laid were higher if he took the form of an animal.
This leads to some interesting speculation about Ancient Greek sexuality.

As above, I reckon 'Odin' is also a face.

I've made to correlation between the walking stick and the black staff as well. I believe it could be a viable theory. An additionally applicable theory of the missing walking stick is it could be the object Harry has to recover/steal in the next book.
As to Odin being Zeus as well, I find Thor a better candidate for the title or mantle of Zeus/Jupiter. Their both heavily interconnected with lightning for one thing. Additionally Thor becoming Zeus could be Thor setting out on his own. Finding his own place in the world out from under Odin. And Odin/Kringle is mentioned to be an expert in Temporal Dilation in CD which would fit with him being Chronos, Zeus's Father.

I would hope not since Zeus was arrogant, a rapist and the world's worst deadbeat dad but it would be interesting in light of the battle between Zeus and the Titans.

Odin is usually connected with Hermes, being a psychopomp and a traveller/trickster. Zeus is connected with Thor (who is also connected with Hercules), and Tyr with Mars (tho he shares some aspects with Zues being a god of the sky and justice.
