Real answer : only one (Hera) the Greeks only allowed one marriage, but he had an affair with all of the others.

Actually Zeus' first wife was Metis (Athena's mother). Metis was the first goddess of wisdom, well actually she was a Titan. Zeus ate her in order to stop her from having a son (a prophecy said Metis' son would overthrow him).

Zeus' second wife was Hera (goddess of marriage and women), his sister.

Themis is also said to be a wife of Zeus between the first, Metis and Hera. The reason he is credited with so many wives and loves is because as worship of the Greek gods spread the chief god of a town or people was made into one god, while his wife or consort was said to be a lover of Zeus - and so why Zeus had so many lovers and children.

The number really depends on the tradition and stories you are folowing and if you are counting human and godly wives/children. There were literally hundreds of children. See related links below for more info.:

i think 5, Dionysus, Ares, Appolo, Perseus, and Hercules

If you include those 5 he had 117 children 112 of them being demigods

Hera had two sons with her husband, Zeus: Ares (God of War), and Hephaestus (god of fire and the forge).

She also bore him a daughter: Hebe (goddess of youth). Some sources claim Eris (discord) was also one of her children -- but it's not certain. Apparently Eileithyīa (goddess of childbirth) was also Hera's daughter. See the links below.
