Theogony 2: 1:1: Zeus' Infidelity
1:1:1 Hera's Rage
After Zeus got Plouto pregnant, Hera was pretty mad: How dare you have sex with that Plouto? You have fathered too many children who aren't in our house! Zeus: I'm sorry, I'll never do it again! Hera: You say that every time! Listen, you can play around as much as you want, but you'll have to do it my way! Zeus: Herrie, I don't know what you mean— Hera: Vaginize! Phallize! Zeus: What is happening to me? Hera: You are turning into a woman!Hera's voice becomes booming and deep, like Zeus's once was. While Zeus is now small and weak, Hera is large and in charge.
Zeus flees to Lake Murkbog, to stay with Plouto, Tantalus, and Plouto's friend, Ploutos.
1:1:2 Plouto Begins the Tumble
In a high pitched voice, Zeus says: I want to be a father to Tantalus, Plouto! Plouto is frightened: Aughh! Who is this disgrace? Ploutos: Don't worry, Plouto, I'll throw this pipsqueak into the bog with the Bog People! Zeus: Plouto! It's me, Zeus! Plouto and Ploutos scoff at him. Ploutos: Get out before I throw you into the bog! Zeus flees and telepathically communicates with his daughter, Athena: oh, my daughter! This is Zeus. You are so smart! Please tell me how I can redeem myself and earn back my place in the House! But Athena was very wise: You cannot redeem yourself. You have wronged Hera too many times. Now I am Queen of the Gods with Hera and we will put much stronger laws on men and man-gods, to prevent this from ever happening again. Bye, Father.
