    Who was Zeus's wife?

    Question #109905. Asked by Lightningfan9. (Oct 18 09 9:06 AM)


    BRY2K

    		Hera is the goddess of marriage in Greek mythology. She is the sister and wife of Zeus. She was born to Cronus and Rhea but then swallowed by Cronus because he believed that one of his children would over throw him just as he over threw his father. When Cronus gave birth to a son called Zeus, he was not informed of his birth so he did not swallow Zeus.

    		In most traditions he was married to Hera, although, at the oracle of Dodona, his consort was Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Aphrodite by Dione. He is known for his erotic escapades. These resulted in many godly and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo and Artemis, Hermes, Persephone (by Demeter), Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen, Minos, and the Muses (by Mnemosyne); by Hera, he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus.
