First of all, a tyrant's son is usually much, much weaker. I would bet ya $10,000 that his son is as flamboyantly gay but in the closet.
Second, Juppo, the whole "sky-dwelling old man" bit is missing the element that he treats his own craftsmanship badly for about 4,000 years, his "son" is essentially the identical twin to the also immaculately-concieved Greek deity Apollo (as per early Roman art) if not the same person, then is misrepresented by the Byzantines and Romanesque artists as some imposing king, then is shown as a certain far-eastern teacher by the Irish, and finally a bunch of emo architects who also were using and slitting their wrists with stone and multicolored to build 10-story houses for this old man say "yeah, let's create a new image for his son".
What next, we'll start worshipping polychromatic pixie horses? (Oh wait, some fellas on the 'net do...shoutout to all you "Bronies"...) This is hillarious...
