Best Answer

Zeus had a great number of sons.

By Hera: Ares, Hephaestus

By Leto: Apollo

By Maia: Hermes

By Semele: Dionysus

He also had several half-mortal sons, the best known of whom are Hercules (a.k.a. Heracles), Perseus, and Castor & Pollux (Helen and Clytaemnestra's brothers). There were others, too, a lot of others. Basically, whenever Zeus slept with someone, she had a kid, and they were more often sons than daughters.

Yes; Zeus had many sons. A few examples are:

  • Ares (with Hera)
  • Hermes (with Maia)
  • Apollo (with Leto)
  • Hephaestus (depending on the source, some say that this was Hera by herself)
  • Dionysus (with Semele)
  • Heracles (with the mortal Alcmene)

Zues had many children called demi-gods. Some of his children were Herculeus, Perseus, and other famous names like that. One thing about these heroes were they were never sons of both Zues and another god(goddess). Zues came down from Mount Olympus and had children with mortal women. (Or so it is said). also when zues was the king of all god and goddesses he became interactive with the mortal womens.

Hermes was the son of Zeus and Maia, or Dionysus and Aphrodite (although that son is likely Priapus, who is also identified with Hermes).
