Zeus has many wives, it depends on which you are talking about. He had wives of goddesses and mortals. His wives were Metis, Hera, Demeter, Leto, Alcmene, Maia, Semele. The wives fought over wives. Zeus treated them poorly. They have hundreds of children. He barely knows his children and never keeps contact with his wives.

Oh my god, who answered above? That's just stupid

Zeus had only ONE wife, and her name was HERA! Hera was also his sister. The others are simply those with whom Zeus had slept with. Hera normally gets angry when Zeus sleeps with other women, especially when it's with a mortal. It has been hinted that she punishes Zeus somehow when he does this. She makes a habit of making the offspring of these mortals miserable. One time, she made one of them go insane and kill his family, then she continued to make it difficult for him to redeem himself to the gods. This boy was none other than Hercules. Some even say that Hera was the only being that actually inspired fear in Zeus, but there are nothing that confirms this.
