Overview

Zeus is well-known for his affairs, but it was an oracle's prophecy that drove his behavior. It foretold that Gaia (Mother Earth) would send her children, the Giants, to depose the Olympian gods and that the gods would lose without the help of a mortal. Under the Giants' rule, all mankind would suffer and die. Knowing that no human could stand against the mighty Giants, Zeus resolved to sire a demigod-a mortal offspring possessing his godly strength and the ability to defeat their foes. To raise up a savior, however, was a complicated matter. Zeus's wife, Hera, was the goddess of marriage and fidelity; and she would do everything within her power to ensure no illegitimate child of Zeus ever attained such glory... *** Woven Tales of Greek Mythology is a restorative work that returns the Greek myths to their most likely original versions.
