Line 55:
* "King of Horndogs"? Seriously? [[Plato Is a Moron|Zeus was an ''amateur'' at this]] compared to Krishna, the Eighth Avatar of Vishnu, the god of love and compassion, and according to one interpretation, the supreme god of [[Hinduism]]. One story claims he [[Me's a Crowd| made enough duplicates of himself]] to seduce ''16,000 women at the same time.''
* Ironically, Eros (the Greek god of Love itself) averts this Trope. While one might say he used deception to claim Psyche as his wife (making everyone believe the gods demanded her as a sacrifice for some demon) he proved a faithful and protective husband. Of course, seeing as he ''was'' the god of love (rather than a god of sex or seduction) that might have been the whole idea.

* In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the giantish god Annam is an [[Expy]] of Zeus and is just as promiscuous, his dalliances with mortal giants giving him a lot of children and causing him no end of headaches from their rivalries. He has no equivalent of Hera, however; some say that for all his power, Annam is a sad and lonely god, as for all the consorts and conquests he's had, he has no true wife to share his divine power with.
