Legend has it that how many wives did Zeus have in Greek mythology?

Zeus has seven wives, namely, goddess of wisdom, goddess of justice, goddess of aquatic plants and pastures, goddess of harvest and agriculture, goddess of memory, goddess of feeding and goddess of heaven.

Zeus always had seven wives, and only the seventh Hera was named "Tianhou". Because when Zeus proposed to Hera, he promised to share his power and honor with Hera, and Hera, as the ruler of Olympus, always stayed with Zeus and helped Zeus defeat kronos, so he was called the third generation king of gods.

In addition to Tianhou and other wives, Zeus also had quite a lot of affairs, and gave birth to many children for him, who are said to be ancestors from all over the world. Two of the previous generation gods 12 and nine of the new generation gods 12 are their wives or children.

In ancient Greek mythology, Zeus, the king of the gods, also had a story with the Trojan prince Gnomedes. He turned into an eagle and took the beautiful boy away, and publicly showed his love to him on Olympus, causing Hera's jealousy, and designed to kill the beautiful boy and turn it into a water bottle. Zeus was heartbroken and sealed Ganymede's soul in the sky. This is the origin of Aquarius.

Homer pointed out very clearly in the epic Iliad that the reason why Gnomedes was taken away by Zeus was "his charming body". This sentence also reveals a social weathering phenomenon in the whole ancient Greek period, that is, the love of adult nobles among men for weak teenagers.
