Is Kratos more powerful than Zeus?

While Kratos eventually defeats Zeus by the end of God of War III, it's generally accepted that base Zeus is inherently more powerful, but Kratos overcomes him through immense growth, experience, trickery (like the fake surrender in GoW II), and powerful artifacts like the Blade of Olympus, which channels Kratos's amplified power and the Power of Hope, ultimately allowing him to overpower Zeus. In their final battle, Zeus held back initially, but Kratos's accumulated power, especially the "Hope" aspect, made him strong enough to win, not just base strength.
