Description
Zeus Iliopoulos captains the Greece U-17 World Cup team while still a first-year high school student, commanding deep respect from senior teammates whose match strategies pivot on his words. He rose to prominence early in Greek tennis through exceptional skill and court presence.

Physically, Zeus sports curly blonde hair and a characteristically youthful Greek appearance. Standing 155 cm tall and weighing 50 kg, he plays right-handed with unshakable composure, reflecting his transcendental role as the team’s pillar.

Personally, he rules with imperturbable calm and commanding authority, accepting defeats gracefully—as when he smiled and shook hands with Tanegashima post-match. He values pure technical tennis, openly disdaining destructive playstyles. His hobbies include astronomical observation and weather forecasting; he stargazes daily during camps, believing "If you wish upon a star, your dreams will come true."

His signature "Idea" tennis centers on total match control. Techniques feature the lightning-powered serve "Olympian Iris' Light" (Iρις φῶς), which creates a rainbow aura enabling him to predict every court movement. This lets him manipulate rallies, allowing opponents temporary dominance while he systematically claims points. He wields a Prince Thunder Rip racket and wears Yonex Power Cushion Aerus GC shoes.

During the U-17 World Cup group league against Japan, Zeus faced Tanegashima after a lineup substitution. He dominated early, winning five consecutive games. Tanegashima shifted to unpredictable "Flash Tennis," seizing seven straight games for a 7-5 victory. Zeus acknowledged being outmaneuvered, praising Tanegashima’s ability to obscure shot trajectories even from him.

His family includes grandparents, parents, two older brothers, two older sisters, and a younger sister. He favors Greek yogurt, rainbow colors, and Olympia for dates, aspiring to own a temple. He struggles during interactions with his grandmother.

Peers recognize his prowess: Yukimura Seiichi expressed interest in challenging his "omniscient and omnipotent" reputation. Shiraishi felt intimidated by Zeus’s play, prompting self-reflection on his "Perfect Tennis" limits. Tanegashima conceded future matches would be difficult now that Zeus understands his tactics, likening Zeus’s demeanor to Buddha. Hermes highlighted Zeus’s rare enjoyment during their match.

Zeus owns an astronomical telescope and was encountered stargazing by players searching for UFOs. Some sources suggest he uses stellar movements for fortune prediction.
