>>111722216>So that gave him free reign to go around the planet raping women, oftentimes in animal form, whenever he feels the need to, with absolutely no consequences?Zeus wasn’t a rapist. Those myths of his affairs were rationalizations of every bumfuck village marrying him to their chief goddess. Zeus rewarded righteousness and punished wickedness. He was the protector of men & gods, cities, property, strangers, and guests.
"Come, try me, immortals, so all of you can learn.
Hang a great golden cable down from the heavens,
lay hold of it, all you gods, all goddesses too:
you can never drag me down from sky to earth,
not Zeus, the highest, mightiest king of kings,
not even if you worked yourselves to death.
But whenever I'd set my mind to drag you up,
in deadly earnest, I'd hoist you all with ease,
you and the earth, you and the sea, all together,
then loop that golden cable round a horn of Olympus,
bind it fast and leave the whole world dangling in mid-air—
That is how far I tower over the gods, I tower over men."
