To make it happen, Zeus struck Kenickie in the head with a thunderbolt as he crouched down to pick up a penny for good luck. Zeus, king of the Gods, obviously wanted Danny Zuko, his demigod son, to be in the car race instead of Kenickie (Jeff Conaway).

Thunderbolts are clearly the main weapon of Zeus, God of the Sky. The true meaning of the movie Grease is actually given away when Danny Zuko gets to drive the Greased Lightning car in the drag race on Thunder Road. This is the reason why only half his last name sounds like Zeus. Remember, Zeus has had many affairs with humans, and the offspring of a God and a human is a demigod, which means that Danny Zuko is half God, half-mortal. Yes, Zuko is the son of the top Olympian God. Zeus and Zuko start off sounding the same because Zuko is the son of Zeus. Who has their last name starting with Z anyway? Ok, I did think of Titanic star Billy Zane pretty much straight away, but that’s beside the point. Zeus and Zuko both sound similar at the beginning when pronouncing both their names because Zuko is a demigod. It goes back even further than that, by bringing to mind the Hellenic Golden Age, which I’ll try and prove to you. This is like going back in time to a different era. Even though Grease was filmed in 1978, the movie was actually set back in 1958/59. The movie is titled ‘Grease’ because it parallels classical Greece. Right now, you might be thinking, “Hell no, Grease can’t have anything to do with the Greek Gods.” Well, it does, and soon you’ll understand why.


It may be worthwhile reading the above bold statement one more time. This statement pretty much sums up the movie Grease. High school gang leader Danny Zuko, a demigod, and son of Zeus, transforms his girlfriend Sandy into an immortal Greek Goddess and brings her back to Mount Olympus in his flying chariot.
