Zeus was angry

Wife Hera had an affair

Zeus hurled lightning bolts

Ferocious storm was made

Castigated her lover*

    One of those situations of ‘do as I say’ not ‘do as I do.” The gods don’t seem to be held accountable much except by each other.

    Love your take on the prompt. Zeus was no angel and certainly enjoyed his erotic escapades.

    He was certainly a hypocrite, wasn’t he? I like your take on the lightning theme.

    Given how much fooling around Zeus gets up to, I’d say he doesn’t have much room for castigating! 😉
