OK, FYI--Ganymede was a boy. "Pederastic" means an adult man having sex with a boy. "Consort" means a lover.
As far as "marriage"--Zeus was only officially married to Hera (she was the queen of the gods, so she had the only marriage that really counted.) The other "wives" were consorts or one-night-stands or things of that ilk. Nobody was married to more than one person at a time. Cheating was usually tolerated to some extent, but multiple marriages were a no-no.
Zeus was one skanky ho. He had sex with...oh, it's easier to list who he *didn't* have sex with. Boys, goddesses, nymphs, women, perhaps the odd satyr...I doubt the myths covered all the trysts. Zeus was a big ol' s lut at best, more like a serial rapist. There's some debate over how willing his partners were about having relations with him. Especially when he appeared as, say, a giant swan or a bull.
Nobody bothered with multiple wives when affairs were ripe for the pickin'.

Zeus was married to Theta and Hera. most gods were married to one woman at a time however they all cheated relentlessly.

No way because their wives was just as powerful as they were. Also that is why those gods choose humans woman and men as their playmate. And that also explains why they were so many demi-gods like Hercules was........................

Not that I know of, but some of them were quite promiscuous.
Eg. Zeus or Aphrodite.
