During the Trojan War, Hera becomes very jealous of another goddess who was more beautiful than her causing the war to end in destruction.

Zeus is one of the primary examples of adultery in mythology. He is married to Hera, Queen of the gods and goddess of marriage. Despite of Zeus’s marriage, he had multiple other relationships with various characters. It was very common for Zeus to transform into an eagle, bull, or another creature and then capture his young prey. Zeus’s sexual orientation is very versatile throughout mythology, however he showed preference to female sexuality. Zeus raped Leda, daughter of the Aetolian king, Thestius, in the guise of a swan; raped Danae, a princess of Argos, disguised as the rain, and raped Ganymede, a male mortal.

Hera, goddess and protector of married women, was not someone to mess with. She was Zeus’s wife, and loved to punish any woman he fell in love with. In the case of Aegina, who boar Zeus’s son, Hera killed thousands of people in her city, leaving the son completely alone. Portrayed as a beautiful goddess, Hera was serious about her looks and wanted no one to be more striking. When Paris was forced to choose which goddess was most attractive, Hera fought strongly against him in the Trojan War when she wasn’t picked and left his city in ruins. The goddess also had a helpful side, when she wanted to. Jason, setting off on his quest of the Golden Fleece, couldn’t convince anyone to go on the perilous journey with him.

Hera(Ήρα)is an olympian and Zeus’ wife and sister. She is the supreme goddess and patron of marriage and childbirth. In The greek Myth, Hera only married Zeus to cover her shame of being raped. This example glorifies the negative aspects to Hera’s relationship with Zeus. From studying family trees. Zeus had many affairs as many of his children were also hera’s. Together they had Quoted from greekmythology.com “Zeus initially courted Hera, but after many unsuccessful attempts, he resorted to trickery. He took the form of a disheveled cuckoo; Hera, feeling sorry for the bird, held it to her breast to keep it warm. Zeus then resumed his normal form and taking advantage of Hera's surprise, he raped her. Hera then married him to cover her shame; their marriage was turbulent and they often clashed”. From My point of view Even though Hera was the goddess of marriage and childbirth, she never had

Throughout history there have been few figures that have fascinated writers and readers more than Zeus the Greek ruler of the Olympian gods (??). Like all notable characters throughout history Zeus’s rise to power wasn’t without turmoil. Often a seizure of power results from the current leader being viewed as an unjust or even a tyrant. A tyrant is defined as an “absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution” (Miriam Webster’s Dictionary). These rulers are often oppressive and respond to authoritative challenge swiftly and brutally. Kronos was the leader of the Titans before Zeus seized the power from him. A prophecy predicted that Kronos would be overthrown by his son, paranoid Kronos swallowed his and Rheas children in an attempt to prevent its fulfilment (Hesiod, p.17). The tyrannical rule of Kronos, Zeus’ father, lead Earth (Gaia) and the existing gods to wage war against Kronos and the Titans. After successfully removing Kronos, Zeus was viewed as a “saviour from chilling peril” (Hesiod, p.22) and elected as Kronos’ replacement. Zeus believed that Kronos held too much power and felt that there was an unequal distribution among the gods. After successfully seizing power Zeus rewarded the gods that fought with him. He distributed powers and duties amongst them. This delegation of duties created a new order and a hierarchy that was fair among the Olympians. I believe that the seizure of power by Zeus from a previous tyrannical leader was justified even though he
