Talk:Zeus

Why is Zeus under mythological?

I mean, I get why because many people have stopped believing in the Greek Gods a long-time ago. But there is still a wide margin of people today that still believe the Greek gods and their stories genuinely happened (some people take them as symbolic). Like with Hellenism, a Morden revival of the Greek gods. How come Krishna for example doesn't get treated the same as Zeus under the mythological category?

In general, we follow what reliable, scholarly sources say. In this case, the vast, vast majority of sources about Zeus discuss him in the context of ancient Greek religion and mythology. If there were a large body of scholarship discussing the role of Zeus in a modern religion such as Hellenism, then it might be WP:DUE to mention that prominently, but there isn't. – Michael Aurel (talk) 14:01, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Zeus

zeus had multiple male lovers ~2026-41803-52 (talk) 17:50, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Provide more details? ~2026-42068-48 (talk) 09:53, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

I've added a few sentences about Ganymede. None of Zeus's other male lovers are worth mentioning. – Michael Aurel (talk) 05:08, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

Offspring

The Offspring section appears to have no rationality to it. Could it be re-written so that it is in [alphabetical] order of mother? Or else some other sensible ordering? ~2026-42068-48 (talk) 09:56, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-42068-48: The table is ordered according to the date of the earliest source to mention the parentage. It wasn't fully consistent in this regard because correctly ordering and formatting everything required a whole lot of annoying fiddling which no one had gone to the effort of doing. I now have, so the chart should be properly ordered. If you want to view the table ordered according to the names of the mothers, click the cell containing the word "Mother" at the top of the table. – Michael Aurel (talk) 01:21, 11 September 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, that is most helpful and appreciated. ~2026-42068-48 (talk) 13:28, 26 September 2026 (UTC)
