There's no getting around it, the guys hard. I've got a few small tips though:
1. Right off, use your army of hades on it's highest level. Do it a couple times if you hav enough magic
2. Whenever he gets in the air to start chucking things at you, shock him. Just takes a little interference to get him down, so throw zeus' fury
3. When hes running, he wont attack right away, so chop him or magic him or whatever you can afford. If he stops or moves strangely, roll away as fast as possible.
4. Always save a little magic for zeus fury just in case, but otherwise, use poseidons rage. It takes less magic and is thereby a better choice than army of hades when you need to save for it.
5. If, at any time, you get rage of the gods... Don't use it. Itll give you false confidence and youll go in close where he can pummel you, plus, youll need it much worse when you are fighting youre clones.
6. It's risky and it takes loads of skill, so try it a couple times to see if it works for you. When he's about the slam the ground with his hammer, roll to his side, roll toward him and push x. Youll do your flipping chop thing. Itll get you off the ground the avoid damage and itll hurt him a little.

Hope it helps!
