What Thetis Did for Her Son, from the Illiad by Alfred J. Church (1907), opens up as Thetis comes out of the sea and finds Zeus on top of a mountain. The storyteller tells you its the highest point on the map helping you imagine Zeus sitting on a throne above everyone looking down at all he has created. I can imagine him holding his staff not even looking at Thetis as she is talking to him.
The setting then switches to Zeus' Palace and as he walks in all the other gods rise at his presence and he sits on his throne. I imagine that Zeus has to walk up a couple of steps to get to his throne while all the other gods are at a table below him looking up to him.
