Is this balanced?

So I made this card when I heard that Theros would be Greek Myth orientated. Since I'm fairly new to cardmaking I thought to ask here if this looks balanced.
It doesn't feel blue, preventing damage is more of a green or white thing. Maybe +1: Target creature gains Flying until end of turn or something.

Why doesnt he cast Lightning Bolt ??? I just expected it to be -2: Zeus deals 3 damage to target creature or player. Maybe it should just be -1...

-1 lightning bolt w/ 5 starting loyalty and 4 would be insane.
i like the fell, although i agree the +2 is a bit w/g in feel. maybe +2 return target permanent to your hand or target creature to your opponents hand?

i think this should be white/red
+1: Holy Day
-10: deals 8 damage for each wrath counter it has to target creature or player

Ruric love the +1 suggestion, however i think at 4 cmc in u/r deck that would be a bit overpowered, if it was 5-6 cmc PW i would be all for it.

Holy Day is usually best used on your opponent's turn, which is when Planeswalker abilities cannot be used. Brave the Elements might be better in a WR Planeswalker

DaShPrime you are right didnt thought about that, guess Planeswalkers cant have any spell as an ability...

Another thing is that characteristically, Zeus doesn't really fit blue as a color. Unless he's a different planeswalker character who just happens to have the name of a greek god.

+2 should be prevent.
-3 is a pyroclasm for all none legendary.
-10 is confusing.
