Zeus and Hera

    The son of Cronus and Rhea, he was fated to dethrone his father. He divided dominion over world with his brothers Poseidon and Hades. As ruler of heaven, Zeus led the gods to victory against the Titans. From his home atop Mount Olympus, he dispensed justice and served as protector.
        Know for his amorousness- a source of perpetual discord with wife Hera- he had many love affairs with mortal and immortal women, giving rise to numerous offspring including, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Helen, Hephaestus, and Persephone. In art he was represented as a bearded, dignified and mature man.
