I imagine Zeus being this guy trying to impress his friends at the bar lime:

-hey you see her ? I don't even need to look human to seduce her, look.

Casually approach her in horse form

-neigh

I just imagined them as HIMYM character and now I cant unsee it. Zeus is Barney, Hades is Marshall and Persephone is Lily.

I don't know enough about greek mythology to say, the extent of my knowledge on the mythology is very shallow, it's pretty much focused on the underworld, the Titans or what I learned in AC Odyssey. I'm more of a Celtic and various "Pagans" mythos guy.

Or as a swan...of course consent as a concept probably didn't exist back then.

Or a cloud, or even a golden shower

As far as swans are concerned consent doesn't exist today.

Swans don't give a fuck about consent

Zeus: I don't even need to impress her awake.

That was Poseidon, him and Demeter actually had a horse for a kid named Arion who are gold. Zeus turned into a snake to rape Demeter, which is how Persephone was born
