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.

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