If you really think people are comparing him to Zeus just because of his beard and lightning then you really haven't tought about it much. Dark Souls takes inspiration from many themes and myths in real life. The events of the First Age are clearly a mirror of the Titanomachy. Gwyn is based on Zeus, not just because of his looks, but because of his actions. He overthrew the rulers of a previous age and declared himself the king of the gods in his own new age (mirroring Zeus's own rebellion against the ruling Titans). He was an asshole to quite a few people including his own family and was known to have quite a few children (Zeus was notorious for being an asshole and fathered many offspring). Seath the Scaleless helped Gwyn defeat the dragons, likely by exposing their weakness; lightning (this is a parallel to the Cyclopes who helped Zeus forge his signature lightning bolts which in turn alllowed him to defeat the Titans).

His looks just solidify the parallel he is to Zeus. S o no the trivia is not ridiculous. If it has merit, it stays. You should really start looking into things a little more. Also, a re you the one who removed the trivia section a couple of days back?
