Zeus Does Have a Weakness After All

For the Greeks, the Gods are personalities with human failings. This is clearly seen in the character of Zeus in books 11-17. Cite some events that show Zeus' weaknesses. 

In books, 11-17, it is clearly shown that even the Gods have weaknesses. It is because even though they possess superior quality, they are still effigies. They are persons that have the corresponding weaknesses to. I never imagined gods with weaknesses specially the ones stated in the book. It was shown in the book that the god of gods, Zeus, has also the human weaknesses. He got even the simplest ones like seduction. It was in book 14 when Zeus showed something weird, and I’m going to talk about it in a while. Before these weird things happen Aphrodite first, gave Hera a tool ( a certain breast band ) for seduction and love because she is the ‘queen of all gods’. After visiting Aphrodite, Hera went to Sleep and asking a favor to lull Zeus until he sleeps. A thing Sleep agreed easily. Hera now, went to Mount Ida for her ‘seduction part’. He saw Zeus plainly looking at Troy. All of the plans made by Hera was because she wanted to help the Achaeans in war ( another weakness of gods, being unjust ). Sleep then, changed himself into a bird and hid in a tree. When Zeus now caught sight of Hera, the band, which Aphrodite gave, already took effect. It made Zeus attracted/seduced to Hera. Zeus made love to Hera and the plan of lulling Zeus took effect. It was the start of Hera’s helping plan against the Trojans. The seduction part was the clearest example of the weakness of the gods. It showed that even the god of gods really experience being vulnerable. He was tricked and because of this pulled by Hera; she was able to help the Achaeans as they charge the Trojans. This is kind of frustrating because an immortal one, the most powerful creature only fooled by his fellow god, his wife even. But the bottom line is, gods will be gods, although they have imperfections, it was destined I guess.
