I said that there were probably never any completely evil cities, and in order for your God to exist there must have been completely evil cities,
thus your God probably doesn't exist.
I also suggested that, based on human nature, there is no way for a city to be "evil" in a manner such that full destruction of that city is consistent with an omnibenevolent nature.
I don't think Zeus was wrong in talking about Mount Olympus; Zeus was quite right, Olympus was his home. That goes without saying within the context of the narrative.
However, Mount Olympus probably never existed, and thus Zeus probably never existed.
Also, Zeus was not benevolent, because he raped. Rape is not consistent with a benevolent nature.
(Cue Zeus followers saying "but he
had to rape her, he knew if he didn't Heracles would never have been born," or maybe just "Zeus knew she wanted it.")
