How did Zeus intervene in the battle between Idas, Lynceus, and the Dioscuri?

OpenAI's Answer

During the battle between Idas, Lynceus, and the Dioscuri, it was Zeus who intervened decisively. Idas and Lynceus, who were twins like the Dioscuri (Castor and Pollux), had a conflict with them, leading to a fierce battle. Idas mortally wounded Castor, and in response, Pollux killed Lynceus. As Idas approached to kill Pollux, Zeus intervened by throwing a thunderbolt at Idas, killing him instantly, thereby saving his son's life. This act illustrates Zeus's direct involvement in mortal affairs to protect his progeny.
