After Zeus married Themis, he married her sister, Hera. I have not found any reference to how Zeus' marriage to Themis ended, so I have listed Hera under the "affairs" area. This marriage is the one that the Greeks considered legitimate. Many of the stories and legends from teh greeks were spawned from this couples marriage. It was not a happy one, and there were many fights. Most of the stories about the other affairs of Zeus are centered around Hera's raging jealousy.
Hera is depicted as a bitter, angry woman who torments the sources of Zeus' affection, as well as their offspring. Hera would go to great lengths to bring down the children of Zeus. If they were divine, she would often take a position oposite theirs, simply for spite. If they were human, she would inflict terrible cruelties on them, and then carry on this anger to the offspring.
Hera bore Zeus three children, though in some accounts there are four. The first was Ares (War). Next came Hebe (Youth), and then Eileithyia (Childbirth). In some sources the craftsman god, Hephastios, is considered theirs.
Though they have what we would term a really awful marriage (to be divorced A.S.A.P.!) The Greeks considered them a symbol of the importance and sanctity of wedlock.
