Zeus is a rank-3 temperament generated by an octave, a fifth, and a neutral second which stands in for both undecimal neutral seconds of 11/10 and 12/11 as well as the septimal neutral second of 35/32, tempering out 121/120, 176/175, and 385/384. Notice 121/120 = (176/175)⋅(385/384). That makes 11-limit harmony particularly efficient and deeply entangled with 7-limit harmony. This temperament is, in fact, one of the best ways to further temper on top of tempering out 121/120. That said, 121/120 is such a comma that, on tempering out, will neutralize the distinction between many otonal- and utonal-11 chords, so it might not fit those who wish to explore the subtlety of tones in the 11-limit.

It also has an obvious extension to the 13-limit tempering out 351/350 and 352/351.
