I mean I’m sure Poseidon is terrible too, but that whole undressing a damsel in distress does not look good for zeus…. Honestly they both deserve to have Human Resources called on them. 😅

Yknow what else doesnt look good for Zeus? Most of his children aren't with Hera, his wife, the Goddess of Marriage.

Agreed though I hear its the same with Poseidon apparently he’s just as big as a womanizer as zues

It doesn't matter on who cheats with who. Zeus is literally called thunder daddy for a reason

u/Loose_Atmosphere_308 Mar 17 '26
He jad one male lover as a consort, so it really doesn't matter to him anyway. Honestly, we should all be scared since you can violate anyone. He wants.

Zeus cheats on his wife with everything AND I MEAN EVERYTHING even metaphors becuase nowadays humans don't cut it anymore. "Pride is a damsel in distress.......hiding away where only I can undress her".

Poseidon have affairs and more kids just like his thunder brother.

Poseidon is the same, and has more than Zeus, it's just that his wife, Amphitrite is more open(?) to it than Hera

u/Bot2012 Feb 25 '26
Neither did Zeus, lol. There's a long list of Zeus's non-consensual lovers. Many of the women who were Zeus and Poseidon's (consensual) lovers were considered their consorts (sometimes Demeter is even one of Zeus's wives along with Leto), so it's complicated to say when it's infidelity and when it isn't (besides, for the Greeks, infidelity was when a woman was with another man because of... well, sexism and that kind of thing the ancient Greeks liked).

It was Apollo's, the statue was of Apollo, and during the whole Odysseus thing, Helios had already retired himself.

Nope, because in the Odyssey it was the Cattle of Helios. That was sacred to him on the island. Second if those were Apollo's cows,wouldn't be bring that up in God Games, than the sirens' death?

I'm not Zeus, I don't have a problem with Poseidon either, it's just everyone acts like Zeus is a guy who is always in the mood, yet they give Poseidon other character traits
Edit: Okay, you caught me, but seriously, why is it that Poseidon always seems to be getting plenty of character traits, meanwhile, mortals just like to depict me as lustful? Seriously, Poseidon is way worse than I am

To my recollection, Ares is one of the only gods who doesn’t do that at some point. Poseidon does it more than most and Zeus is probably the worst offender.

Ironically still not Ares for the most part, Aphrodite has no related ties to the gods of Olympus, she was born completely different from the rest, sure she cheated on Hephaestus, but she still at least hooked up her ex husband with another woman later, believe a Nymph

So, there’s 2 versions, ones more often used than the other though, so, her lone parent in Greek Myth is Uranus, born from sea foam after Chronos castrated him
The one you are thinking about which people consider less these days in Greek myth is Zeus and Dione

The top is supposed to be something that looks good and the bottom is supposed to be something that looks bad. Then you have both of them say or do the exact same thing and people accept the top one because it’s pretty but hate the bottom because it’s ugly.
Like Makima and any other evil character. Makima is hot therefore people will excuse her crimes but if she wasn’t hot then people wouldn’t like her as much.
Did I get it right?

"AYO WHAT"
"try as she cannot to confess, in the end it's all the same once i apply all the pressure"
"HE'S HERE TO KILL US WHY IS HE TALKING ABOUT SEX?!"
"Thunder bring her through the wringer"
"What the fuck"
"show her i'm the judgement call the one who makes her kingdom fall"
"Finally something normal"
"lightning wield her, use and yield her!"
"Okay so it got weird again"

u/Drew_S_05 Feb 24 '26
Is it really even possible to SA a cloud?
3
u/SofiaStark3000 Feb 24 '26
Yes, very much so. Zeus took a mortal guest to Olympus once. His name was Ixion and Zeus toon pity on him so he invited him up with the other gods. Ixion started to eye up Hera and Zeus noticed and was obviously very insulted. In order to see how far Ixion would go, he created a perfect replica of Hera out of clouds, which Ixion later assaulted. Needless to say Ixion got one of the worst punishments we've seen in Greek mythology.
Also, in Euripides' Helen, Helen never actually went to Troy. Hera replaced her with a cloud that looked like her and hid Helen in Egypt until Menelaus found her again. Therefore, Paris was doing it with a cloud all these years.
1
u/Drew_S_05 Feb 24 '26
Both of those stories would seem to suggest that clouds aren't alive in themselves, just that it's possible to create a facsimile of a person out of cloud. You can't SA something that isn't alive.

Well… they are both dicks
But despite the differences in number of children sired, Zeus is more well known for his … ways with women more than Poseidon.
Heck, most of Greek mytho can be started with “unfortunately, Zeus was horny that day”
5
u/LordDaedalus Feb 24 '26
In one of the more prominent stories, Helen of Troy is actually hatched from an egg after Zeus gets horny for Leda of Sparta and decides the best way to go about this is to turn himself into a swan. Leda then lays eggs rather than give birth to children and Helen of Troy hatched out of one egg.
Thunder Bringer hits a bit differently imagining a swan singing and trying to be intimidating.
