Chewing on everything within reach is very normal behavior for puppies this age. I would make sure that you are providing lots of things for him to chew on to provide an appropriate outlet for this behavior - things like bully sticks, cow or pig ears, large rawhide chews, or puzzle toys such as a Kong toy stuffed with peanut butter are all good options. I would also confine Zeus in a crate when you aren't home or not able to supervise him, to prevent him from having the opportunity to chew on walls or furniture.
