-Zeus. Everything about him. They picked a horrible actor, and screwed up his job. Zeus doesn't control the dead, Hades and Thanatos do that. He can't just grant life to some random pirate from 200 years ago, even if Hook did help defeat Hades. Zeus controls the sky, and is king of the gods. Not Lord/God of Death and/or Spirits of the Departed.

-While I'm on that note, that's not how death even works in the myths anyways. There's a reason Orpheus went on a quest instead of just appealing to Zeus. I could go off on the use of ambrosia, and how that was incorrectly portrayed, but I'll digress. This isn't the spot. To be fair, the actor that played Zeus was on screen for maybe two minutes tops, you can't really judge someone's acting skills from that. As far as not following the myths, that's kind of the whole point of the show, to take the existing stories, and twist them.
