A God cannot be immoral, however they can be amoral or nothing at all. Remember, they make the rules they "play" by.

He didn't have anyone else to marry. He didn't marry any Daughters he married 1st Leto who was more like a cousin and a Titan and had Artemis and Apollo. Then he married his sister Hera and had the rest of the Olympians. Zues was a reflection of the people who whorshipped him and in Royal Houses of the Ancient world a King marrying a sister wasn't actually that uncommon. In fact one of the Seven Wonders of the world is a monument for such a king from a Sister/Wife. The Masoleum.

So, you must believe in Zeus.
Do you mean "Immortal", like Dr Zeus?
And this must be one of those "Throw the First Stone" things.

It was normal back then. As 1 person said he is a god he can marry who he wants to.

It didn't matter in Zeus' time, which is why you hear about many mysterious creatures in those stories.

No, he was a god, and things were different in their world. His daughter, Athena, sprang fully formed from his head - that was her birth. You can't rationalise these things according to our own standards as mortals (i.e. non-gods) and 21st-century citizens.

you also have to look at the tenets during their "time." it was normal and not shunned upon in their society i guess you would call it. but as we look into the stories of mythology, we apply our standards and our sense of morality. thats where the criticism comes from.
