There's no better sight than either a cyclops playing toss the heffalump, or medusa-inspired elly statues all around the place...
Of course the problem is that as a Zeus player you don't get cyclops, and to effectively fight eggy as greek one tactic is to fight hard in classic then skip quickly to mythic as hephaestus so that you can:
a) Get the cheapo armory ups that you've ignored to get to mythic
b) Beef up yer myrms
c) Go nuts with colossi and see how they like uncounterable tank-spamming.
But there is an alternative: if you went Athena for classical (would you? Ceasefire is mighty handy against Isis / A&E if you're quick enough)... then you can beef up your hops so that they match myrms pop/cost wise in most areas (including anti-myth) and surpass them against axemen, buildings, seige etc. This means that you can consider Hera to get the medusas, the lightning storm and the kick-ass temple techs for your big doggy.
On balance however I think that the advantages of the colossi and the armory make the pleasure of stone-gazing elephants a guilty one. If you're in this position, console yourself with the fact that you can now put 15 vills on favor, 40 on gold and use the rest of your eco-pop space for caravans as you mindlessly spam giant metal men that can't be stopped by those hippy priests.
