>>81262619>>81262649There're lots of fun stories with Zeus and his various antics.
He's never really malevolent, people just get in the way of what he wants.
My personal favourite is the fathering/mothering of Dionysus.
Zeus takes on the appearance of a man and comes to the cursed city of Thebes.
He finds a daughter of the line of Cadmus and seduces her.
Hera being somewhat pissed about her husband's infidelity, comes down to the Earth in the disguise of an old woman in the entourage of the young woman whom Zeus had seduced (and impregnated).
Hera tells the girl that her new boyfriend is Zeus. The girl is like "Whoaa, no way", and so Hera tells her to make him swear on the river Styx for him to show her his true form.
So when the girl and the disguised Zeus are alone together later, she asks him to promise him something. Zeus says "Sure, baby, whatever".
She insists that he swears on the river Styx and Zeus is again "Yeah, whatever, babe", presumably smoking a cigarette in bed.
And then she asks him to reveal his true form.
Zeus is suddenly distraught because a god cannot break an oath on the river Styx.
So he reluctantly reveals his true godhead, and she is burnt to death in the presence of his heavenly glory.
However, he is able to rescue her fetus from the smouldering corpse and sew the prebaby into his thigh, where it comes to turn and is born as the god Dionysus.
What happens to him is another story.
