Zeus’ Lovers

“Most people would have given up at that point, but not Zeus, who is known for his ‘never say die’ attitude.” There are many stories of Zeus’ infidelity, far too many to cover in one blog (and I will look at some of the more notable ones separately), but here are a few to whet

Zeus and Hera

“From the moment she emerged out of their father’s stomach, covered in blood and slime, Zeus had lusted after his older sister.”

Zeus and Leto: Apollo and Artemis

“Hera was still not finished; her rage knew no bounds.”

Zeus and Metis: the Birth of Athena

“It was like something was banging on the inside of his skull and it was driving him insane, so insane that he ordered Hephaestus to smash him over the head with his axe”

War of the Titans: the Aftermath

“Buried beneath the rubble of Mount Othrys, the Titans met their Waterloo.”

War of the Titans: the Battle

“The Earth shook, mountains were formed and the landscape was ravaged…”

Prometheus: Argos

“Then a second dog slowly plods its way into the room, limping on its right paw. It’s a black and white border collie with a shiny coat and wolf-like eyes.”

Prometheus: The Fire Alarm

“When it finished, it would look up at me, its face and beak covered in my blood, and then fly off with a promise to return the same time the next day.”

Prometheus: Blood Feud

“Father, do you really require the entire Titan force to take on a few children? I would have thought that Atlas alone could deal with the issue.”
