Answer:it can be concluded that Zeus is employing HINDSIGHT BIAS in this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

What Is Hindsight Bias?

This is how we mostly tend to believe that we knew what was going to happen before it happened;we tend to consider some events as being more predictable which is not true in reality.

This occurs mostly in sport games or political matters or during voting times. You will find people saying I knew this candidate was going to win eventhough the truth is we can never know for sure what is going to happen before it happens.

Zeus exclaims and says he knew this particular team was going to win, so due to Hindsight bias he is more sure that he had strong predictions about the game. This type of bias is also referred to as "know it all"
