Shortly after they were married, Metis had a vision. She was gifted the power of prophecy. Metis saw that one of Zeus’ sons would overthrow him as he had done to Cronus. After consulting with Gaia and Uranus, Zeus swallowed Metis. There’s also the affair with the Oceanid Maia. Zeus seduced Maia in a cave in the middle of the night. The affair was brief, but it led to the birth of the messenger god Hermes.Not much is known about how the relationship between Zeus and Demeter transpired. However, most accounts agree that it was not consensual. Some stories say that Zeus came onto Demeter in the form of a bull. Because no mortal or immortal being could resist the King of the gods, they formed a bond and had a child. Her devastation with the kidnapping led to crops dying throughout Ancient Greece. While Zeus didn’t play much of a part in the relationship, he did facilitate a deal with Hades. That said, there are also more scandalous aspects to Greek mythology. Many stories revolve around infidelity, secret relationships, and children born out of unexpected unions. There’s no more remarkable example of the sordid side of the mythology than Zeus’ many wives. Before Hera became his wife, Zeus fell in love with an Oceanid named Metis. Metis was the nymph daughter of Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She was a second-generation Titan and acted as the personification of wisdom, deep thought, and prudence. Hera was also an Olympian. Like Zeus, she was the progeny of Cronus and Rhea. That made her Zeus’ sister.
