Mythology lesson 2 jupiter (zeus)
Zeus was the king of the gods and had many affairs with both goddesses and mortal women. Some of his notable affairs included Aegina, Alcmene (mother of Heracles), Europa (mother of Minos, Sarpedon, and Rhadamanthys), Io, Leda (mother of Helen and the Dioscuri), and Taygete. He also had several wives including Hera, Leto (mother of Apollo and Artemis), and Semele (mother of Dionysus). Many of these affairs resulted in famous offspring and helped spread Zeus's influence throughout the world.
