Quote
“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.” (Hunt).
Explanation
This shows me that Zeus was very flirty and was able to get a lot of women. Also it shows how he had a lot of power by being able to go between worlds and was able to get some girls by having them be scared to deny him because he was so powerful and they feared they would be killed if they did so.
