While Aquaman is strictly speaking a superhero rather than a sea god, his appearance and powers in the upcoming movie certainly draw on those of maritime divinities. Aquaman's abilities to communicate with sea life, control the ocean and swim at superhuman speeds all resemble traits associated with Poseidon.
The daughter of the Roman god Jupiter and his mistress, Latona, Diana was born on the island of Delos with her twin brother, Apollo, the god of light. Although primarily associated with hunting, Diana was also revered as the goddess of the woods, children and childbirth, fertility, chastity, the moon, and wild animals.
Modern Age Wonder Woman had no specifically called-out weaknesses. About the closest she's come is that her super-human stamina and resistance to injury does not seem to apply to piercing weapons, like arrows or daggers; her enhanced healing does not work against such injuries.
The Olympian Gods granted Diana divinity and the role of the Goddess of Truth who started to reside in Olympus; her mother Hippolyta then assumed the role of Wonder Woman and wore her own different incarnation of the costume. In New 52 Zeus is her father so that does make her a demigod.
Zeus is a fictional deity in the DC Comics universe, an interpretation of Zeus from Greek mythology. With the 2011 relaunch of DC Comics dubbed The New 52, Zeus has received a prominent role in the Wonder Woman mythos, as he is now the biological father of Wonder Woman through Hippolyta.
Hippolyta was the queen of the tribe of the Amazons in Greek mythology. She played a significant role in the Twelve Labours of Heracles. She was the daughter of the god of war, Ares, who had given her a magical girdle as a gift. He then sailed away leaving the Amazons behind.
Superman would not be able to defeat Zeus as nothing in Superman's arsenal or power level would allow him to take him out indefinitely. That's similar to stating that Superman can defeat Odin or Dormammu.
The sword can wound Superman.
So his skin is a little tougher than most, he's still made up of the same elements as everyone, he's simply worlds tougher than anyone else. But he can be wounded by Wonder Woman's blade since it ignores the hardness of his skin and goes to a level that even he can't defend against.Wonderful Weaponry – The Tools of Wonder Woman

Ares is all about war and combat. Zeus in comparison hasn't fought many fast humanoid enemies and usually relies on his powers, almost all of which can't kill Ares. Ares also has the much superior ally. No way Zeus wins.
As Princess Diana of Themyscira, Wonder Woman is of Amazonian blue-blood. Formed from clay by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and given life by the breath of Aphrodite, she is a demi-god.
In his dying breath, Zeus leaves his Amazon warriors with the care of his and Hippolyta's daughter Diana and gives them a gift in the form of an artifact, the "Godkiller" sword. Later, it is revealed that Diana herself is the "Godkiller" as only a god can kill another god.
After Wonder Woman and other members of the League had been apparently killed in battle with Ares, Batman donned Ares' discarded helmet to use it against him, only to succumb to the helmet's power, to the point that he not only defeated Ares, but even killed Diana when it was revealed that she had survived the attack
1940 Fantomah/Woman in Red
Two comic-book characters have a claim to being the first female superhero. Fantomah was the first female superhero with superhuman powers to appear in print, in Jungle Comics #2 (Feb 1940).Wonder Woman tells the tale of Princess Diana of Themyscira. Her original origin story says she was formed out of clay by her mother, Hippolyta, and had life bestowed upon her by the Greek gods — making her the only Amazon not conceived by a man.
"The Lies" storyline reveals that a number of events from the previous Wonder Woman series in which Diana was made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War, was in fact all an illusion created by a mysterious villain, and she had never once been back to Themyscira ever since she left, nor is she capable of returning
She was not born from a lump of clay (go figure!), but rather the result of an affair between Hippolyta and Zeus. In other words, she's not merely a gifted Amazon, she's a full-fledged demigod. And rather than “channeling” the gifts of Zeus through her bracelets, etc., Diana is the source of her own power.
Poseidon's history in Greek mythology is the same in the DC Comics universe, including the fact that he is the brother of Zeus and Hades. Aquaman and Aqualad follow with the help of Zeus and save both Mera and Poseidon from a berserk creature created by Mera.
The Silver Age Aquaman made his first appearance in Adventure Comics #260 (May 1959). In it and subsequent Silver Age comics, it was revealed that Aquaman was Arthur Curry, the son of Tom Curry, a lighthouse keeper, and Atlanna, a water-breathing outcast from the lost, underwater city of Atlantis.
The show stars Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor Sr. & Jr. It originally aired for three seasons from 1975 to 1979. The show's first season aired on ABC and is set in the 1940s during World War II.
Due to his status as Greek god of the sea, the character has figured primarily in stories relating to two of DC Comics' main superhero properties: Wonder Woman (an Amazon warrior with various connections to the Greek pantheon) and Aquaman (the king of the underwater city of Atlantis).
Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, the youngest of his siblings to be born, though sometimes reckoned the eldest as the others required disgorging from Cronus's stomach. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe, and Hephaestus.
Ares first appears in the DC Extended Universe film Wonder Woman, the fourth instalment of the DCEU. As the God of War, he is depicted as the treacherous son of Zeus and the half-brother of Diana/Wonder Woman.
Athena. Athena is the daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armour from his forehead, thus has no mother.
As Diana Prince, she worked in the U.S. War Department as an assistant to intelligence officer Steve Trevor. Decades later she and Trevor married and had a daughter, Lyta (also known as Fury).
In Classical Greek mythology, Hippolyta (/h?ˈp?l?t?/; Greek: Ιππόλυτα Hippolyta) was the Amazonian queen who possessed a magical girdle (a waist belt that signified her authority as queen of the Amazons) given to her by her father Ares, the god of war.
Zeus appears in the film Justice League (2017), portrayed by Sergi Constance. He was seen during a flashback scene to ancient Earth.
