who were zeus's wives?

Answer 1

Zeus (zOOs) [key], in Greek religion and mythology, son and successor of Kronos as supreme god. His mother, Rhea, immediately after his birth concealed him from Kronos, who, because he was fated to be overthrown by one of his children, ate all his offspring. Rhea gave him a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes which he devoured immediately, not suspecting that the infant Zeus still lived. Later, Zeus tricked Kronos into disgorging his brothers and sisters and led them in a successful revolt against their father (see Titan). When lots were cast to divide the universe, the underworld went to Hades, the sea to Poseidon, and the heavens and earth to Zeus. Zeus was an amorous god. His first mate was probably Dione, but his official consort was his sister, Hera, who bore him Ares and Hebe. Zeus also loved Themis, Eurynome, Demeter, Mnemosyne, Leto, and Maia and fathered many gods. Famous among his mortal loves were Danaë, Leda, Semele, Thetis, Io, and Europa. His sons sired from mortal wives include Hercules, Dardanus, and Amphitryon. He was also the father of Athena, who was said to have sprung from his head. Supreme among the gods, Zeus, ruling from his court on Mt. Olympus, was the symbol of power, rule, and law. As the father god and the upholder of morality, he rewarded the good and punished the evil. The root meaning of Zeus is “bright” or “sky,” and in this sense he was god of weather and fertility. Thus he was worshiped in connection with almost every aspect of life. The most famous weapon of Zeus was the thunderbolt, but, according to some legends, he also possessed the aegis. The Romans equated Zeus with their own supreme god, Jupiter (or Jove).

Answer 2

Zeus Wives

Answer 3

Zeus was only married to Hera, but took many liberties with both divine and mortals alike. His exploits were often in the guise of animals or objects like when he appeared to Danae, mother of Perseus as a shower of gold.

Answer 4

Zeus (say english: tsoys) was married to Hera, but had countless affairs with humans on earth.

Hera was very angry and jealouys about that, but she went the wrong way (in my opinion): she punished the girls, who very often had not even been involved with her husband, many of his affairs we would nowadays call rapes.

Instead of ripping Zeus a new ... ahem ... instead of giving him a hard time about his unfaithfulness she took revenche on the females. That is the reason why I personally do not like her, and I stay away from her (I mean I do not worship her)

Answer 6

Only Hera, ironically, she was the goddess of marraige, but he screwed any mortal woman he saw fit (and more than a few that he saw unfit, and likely a few men too, though not as many as Pan I'm sure)

Hera could be a real ***** though, she killed/had killed one of Heraculese's wifes, got him to kill one in a daze, and when he finally died, he got a dead woman as a wife (I guess it was determined she couldn't kill off a dead woman)
