Didn't he do it whilst pretending to be a swan, bull and shower of gold. Quite odd those Greek women.

I would have to say that from an ancient greek point of view yes Zeus would be more virile than "Bible GOd". However we should actually measure virility by the number of good thigns a man does not by how many children he has.

It means Zeus was a bit of a tart (he cheated on his wife many times).... The even more bizarre thing was supposedly he appeared to women as a "golden shower" or perhaps a swan. He must have liked kinky women.
OK, the boring answer is that the ancient Greeks were polytheistic and had very anthropomorphic gods... They're much more like superheroes and supervillains than they are like the Christian idea of God. Whereas Christians are Trinitarians, who believe in one god, father (creator), son and spirit. So God's son is thought to be a manifestation of God in flesh rather than the product of God's loins.

No, the God of the bible created every human being and creature that ever exsisted. Several hundreds of trillions! Off hand, I'd have to say that God is more virile than Zeus who had a dozen children.

I have a theory that Zeus was actually a demon and his children were Nephelim ("Genesis chap 6). About the same time as this was taking place, the ancient Greek myths about Hercules etc were spreading. It's only a theory though...

Zeus got around-a lot, and most of the time it wasn't with his wife.

Zeus got it on with mortal women, other deities, etc. Zeus didn't have a good relationship with his father (who tried to eat him), so really, you can't blame him for his womanizing ways.

It means Zeus was a descendant of the relations between Fallen Angels and the daughters of men.Then he produced (like a mule) Hybrids.He wasn't really a god at all just a weird 1/2 angel 1/2 human monster.

It means that Zeus hadn't heard of contraception

Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
This was spoken by Paul to people who believed in Zeus; when in Athens.
So all mankind are the children of God; far more than the "children" of Zeus.
