God recalling the folly of Eden (4)

I believe the answer is:

zeus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'god' is the definition.
(I know that Zeus is a Greek deity)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for zeus that I've seen before include "Supreme Greek deity" , "old Greek" , "Head of the Greek gods" , "Ancient Greece's top god" , "Chief among Greek gods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
