Zeus Makes A Good Father

Zeus’s role in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter has him being shown as someone who can be seen as thoughtless, but still highly regarded. While Zeus is being put in the spotlight for giving Persephone to his brother, Demeter is wreaking havoc on the mortal world trying to find Persephone with Hekate. Demeter is Persephone’s mother and Zeus has given her to Hades to be his wife. Zeus’s prominence is being displayed as he is shown to be an important figure in both Persephone’s rape and the Hymn itself, but he is also being showed in a light that allows the reader to see that even the almighty Zeus can make mistakes. Zeus is being shown as someone who does not think before acting, allowing him to give his own daughter to his brother as his wife without

Since Zeus is strong and loving that means that humanity would have nothing to worry about, but they could fear his wife Hera. Because, as Edith Hamilton’s mythology book says this about Hera “But when any account of her gets down to details, it shows her chiefly engaged in punishing the many women Zeus fell in love with, even when they yielded only because he coerced or tricked them.”(Hamilton 5) Of greatest significance he is loving and strong so humanity would rely on him.Therefor he would be a great President or ruler of

Zeus controlled many people during the Greek religion phase. He ruled the sky and thunder. He ruled as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. Zeus came from a very popular group of leaders in his family. One being his father Cronus. Cronus led the titans and become the youngest of the first generation of the titans. Cronus overthrew his father and become the leader during the Golden Age. Then, Zeus’s mother Rhea, which came from the earth goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus. Cronus descended from the same line of family. Rhea is considered as “mother of gods. Zeus being the youngest of all siblings become the one with the most weight on their shoulders having to perform like all of his other siblings. He fathered many children where they would

Zeus was the rain god, ruler of the heavens, king of the gods, and the god of law, order, and fate. Unlike God, Zeus had a mother and a father. With approximately seventy wives, Zeus fathered around ninety-two children. The Christian God, having no wife, only fathered his one and only son, Jesus. Zeus and his brothers drew lots for their share of the universe, which concluded with Zeus becoming the supreme ruler. After an uprising with his father, Kronos, Zeus became the ruler of heaven and earth.

Zeus was the youngest of the children born from Kronos and Rhea. Kronos swallowed all of the his children one by one because of an old prophecy he had heard that one of his children will overthrow him. When Rhea found out she was pregnant with Zeus, she was not going to let the same thing happen to him, so she gave birth to Zeus in Crete, and tricked Kronos into swallowing a rock, leading him to believe that it was the baby, making all of the other children come back in reverse order, so now the oldest one is the youngest. This made Zeus to now be the oldest, and the strongest, of all of his siblings, being that he was never swallowed. He is the God of the Sky, and also controls thunder and lightning, which he often uses to his advantage. Zeus plays a huge role in Hesiod’s Theogony, as he is portrayed to of been riddled with bad temper, and we see that a lot in some of the actions he takes through it.

Zeus is one of the most well-known Greek gods because of his relations and powers .One reason he is famous is because he ruled over the other Greek gods. He was the father of some other Greek gods like Apollo, Perseus, Heracles, Hermes, Artemis, and Dionysus. As well as his relationships, Zeus was also well-known for his powers. He could throw lighting bolts which would shatter mountains. Zeus could also control the weather and cause huge storms. The last reason is Zeus assigned all the positions to the other Greek gods. He assigned Aphrodite

The father of storms, has let a mortal situation and lust come between his marriage with little sensitivity. Also, not realizing the hardship that could affect the other gods. The primary issues with Zeus’ characteristics are his lack of compassion towards Hera, his aggressive spirit, and his egotistical personality.

Hera Hera was both sister and wife to Zeus, both born to Cronus and Rhea. She was Goddess of women, marriage and childbirth. Many tales of Greek mythology center around the jealousy and retribution Hera plotted against the love interests romanced by Zeus and the offspring who were fathered by her powerful, but unfaithful

Zeus had lots of brothers and sisters who were also powerful gods and goddesses. He was the youngest, but the most powerful of three brothers. His oldest brother was Hades who ruled the Underworld. His other brother was Poseidon, god of the sea. He also had three sisters including Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. Zeus’s parents are Cronus and Rhea. Zeus has had six marriages and many affairs with both mortals and immortals. Out of those six marriages, two of them were his sisters Demeter and Hera. Zeus has had over 40 children throughout those affairs and

Zeus was the supreme leader of the gods, and the king of Mount Olympus. He was the youngest child born to Rhea and Cronus, and was nearly eaten by Cronus, but his mother hid him away and he was raised by Nymphs in a forest. Zeus made his father a magical potion which caused Cronus to cough up five of Zeus’s siblings. Many Olympians fought together for years to try and defeat the titans and eventually they overthrew them, and Zeus became the leader of the gods. Zeus is responsible for having created several elements of the world: the sea, grounds, and skies. Poseidon was assigned to be in charge of the seas, Hades to the underworld, and Zeus to the skies. Later on, Zeus marries his sister Hera, however he would have intimate relationships with many mortal women, and would discipline anyone that had an interest with Hera.

Zeus was considered the god of gods. He had rule over the skies, thunder, lightning, hospitality, honor, kingship and order. He was represented by thunderbolts, oak trees and a set of scales. Physically, he was said to be strong and he carried a thunderbolt with him. He was depicted as wise and fair but was also considered short tempered and carefree. He had many affairs during his marriage to Hera. He was the last child of the Titans Rhea and Cronus. His siblings included Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera and Demeter. One myth that concerned Zeus would be the story of how bees acquired their stingers. It was said that Zeus was asked by a bee to give the bees stingers so that they could protect themselves from humans. Zeus agreed to give them stingers, but the tradeoff was that after a bee used its stinger, it would die. This myth taught the lesson not to pray for evil.

Why would Hera ever marry her own brother you ask? Well, as the years went on Zeus attempted to seduce Hera becuase he thought she was very apealing. However, he did not succeed and instead tried a new aproach. First, he slyly changed himself in to a helpless, freezing, and distraught bird and became visible to her. Unfortunatly, she did not realize that the falsely endagered bird was actually Zeus. As she held the bird and tried to help it, Zeus returned to his true form and raped her. Out of her embarrasment and disgrace, Hera made the decision to marry him. Eventually the couple had three children, but Zeus din't stop there. Zeus cheated on her with numerous other goddesses and mortals. In result, Hera ran around seeking revenge on his mitresses or their children. For example, one of the more well known incedents occurred when

Throughout the play, Zeus is referred to as Heracles’ father, though there is no physical form of Zeus in the play. He is portrayed more in a fatherly fashion in the beginning of the play when Deianira is telling of the battle between Heracles and the river god. She says “at last, to my huge relief and joy, he arrived – Heracles, Zeus’ and Alcmena’s son.” which shows Heracles as a hero, and Zeus as the father of such a hero. She goes on to proclaim “but Zeus, the god of battles, brought about a happy ending” .

Zeus' and Hera's marriage had gotten off onto a rocky start, here's how. After Zeus could not get Hera's attention at all he had another approach to appear as a wounded bird. When Hera saw this "wounded bird" she picked him up and hugged up to dry him and keep warm. Then after Zeus returned to his true form and shamed Hera into marriage. The wedding ceremony was huge, one that would've been to remember but the honeymoon lasted for 300 years! Zeus and Hera had three children together: Ares, Hebe, and Eliethya. So it says. Even after Zeus and Hera had children Zeus still had his little affairs. Tell me who

That’s right. We’re moments away from an exclusive interview with the biggest, baddest god of all. When he isn’t busy ruling the world, Zeus likes to spend his time having affairs. Lots of affairs. He’s married to Hera (Juno), goddess of birth and marriage, but that doesn’t
