  1. "As the sky god Zeus had easy access to the women of the world and took full advantage of it. Also, his power as a supreme god made him difficult to resist. Prior to his marriage to Hera he was married first to Metis, then Themis . He was interested in Demeter but she resisted him. His third wife was Mnemosyne. He was involved with Leto shortly before his marriage to Hera."

  22. Europa was the daughter of the King Agenor of Sidon. Zeus spoke to her and explained his love. He took her to Create, where he had been raised. He promised that she would bear him many famous sons. Her sons included Minos I and Rhadamanthus. Zeus fell in love with Io and seduced her. Then when Hera found out he turned her into a cow, and presented it to her because she knew that he lied she had Argus Panoptes watch over it. Because he had a hundred eyes he was good at watching over something. Semele was a Thebian princess. She is the only mortal to be parent of a god.
