Metis Zeus' first Wife Athene Goddess of Wisdom

Zeus was also the father of many children by mortal women, to whom he appeared in various guises:

Semele As lightning Dionysus The God of the Grape and of Wine
Danae As a shower of gold Perseus
Leda As a swan Pollux
Helen
Castor
Clytmenestra Zeus embraced both her and her husband, Tyndareus. By her he sired Pollux and Helen. By Tyndareus he sired Castor and Clytemnestra
Alcmene Heracles Whilst Amphitryon her husband was away on an expedition.
Europa As a white bull Minos
Rhadamanthus
Sarpedon Zeus appeared to her while she was out gathering flowers near the seashore. Europa was so delighted with the tameness and beauty of the animal that she caressed him, placed a wreath of flowers on his head and mounted his back. Zeus then dashed off to Crete, where he revealed himself to her as a god, and embraced her.
Io Epaphus Zeus changed Io into a cow, and Hera drove her from Greece, eventually to arrive on the banks of the Nile to be met by Zeus who touched and restored her.
Callisto Arcas Callisto's father, Lycaon, had been transformed into a wolf for having served the flesh of a young boy to the gods. Zeus appeared as Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and knowing that Callisto had dedicated her life to her sired Arcas. Artemis was very angry at the maiden and turned her son into a bear cub. Later Zeus raised Callisto to a contellation - The Great Bear, and her son to The Little Bear.
Antiope Zethus
Amphion Fearing her father's (the Theban king Nycteus) wrath she left both of her sons on the side of a mountain.

It is said that Zeus' first wife Metis (meaning prudence), daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, and mother of Athene, was swallowed by him to prevent a prophecy that he was to be overthrown by a child born of her. See Athene.
